Reading Kasa Status

[TCoach]

How do I read the status of my Kasa HS300 outlet? I have a scene for feeding that turns off the main pump and skimmer and turns all powerheads on. I'd like to check the status of the main pump and if it has been off more than 20 minutes, send out an alert. Anyway to do this with reef-pi?

You can use python

python-kasa — python-kasa documentation

python-kasa.readthedocs.io

I don’t have first hand experience though

Thanks. I do know about python, but there are also “Native” drivers in reef-pi for interacting with Kasa strips. Just trying to figure out how to use them.

I would like to do something like this:
Default on
If Off
Then
Wait 30 min
If still off, sent email/txt alert

There is no easy way to do this with reef-pi, you can use a timer to shut off those equipment for a fixed amount of time and the back on again. Reef/pi does not read kasa status (as in it does not poll the network based api), it only controls it when required by some logic (macros, ato etc )
