How this automation works
Automatically manage your energy use by turning off a TP-Link Kasa smart plug when the electricity price rises above a set value. This runs whenever your current electricity price in a selected Nord Pool area exceeds your defined threshold. Ideal for saving energy costs and reducing consumption during peak price hours.
