Power Wattage Reporting Threshold
Parameter 9: Choose how you want your Smart Plug to report power consumption to your hub. The number entered as value corresponds to the number of Watts the appliance needs to go over for the change to be reported. So if 5 Watts are entered by default, the Smart Plug will report any change in power usage over 5 Watts (whether it’s at least 5 Watts more or 5 Watts less compared to the previous report).
Values: 5 – 50. Default: 5.

Electrical Current Reporting Threshold
Parameter 11: Choose how you want your Smart Plug to report electrical current (Amps) to your hub. The number entered as value corresponds to the number of Amps the appliance needs to go over for the change to be reported. Value 1 equals 0.1 A and value 10 equals 1 A. So if 1 is entered by default, the Smart Plug will report any change in electrical current over 0.1 Amps (whether it’s at least 0.1 A more or 0.1 A less compared to the previous report).
Values: 1 – 10 where 1 = 0.1A and 10 = 1A. Default: 1 (0.1A).

Energy Reporting Threshold
Parameter 12: Choose how you want your Smart Plug to report energy use (kWh) to your hub. The number entered as value corresponds to the number of kWh the appliance needs to go over for the change to be reported. Value 1 equals 0.01 kWh and value 100 equals 1 kWh. So if 1 is entered by default, the Smart Plug will report any change in energy use over 0.01 kWh (whether it’s at least 0.1 kWh more or 0.1 kWh less compared to the previous report).
Values: 1 – 100 where 1 = 0.01 kWh (100 = 1kWh). Default: 1 (0.01 kWh).
