Thanks for the heads up! I haven't ordered one yet as my temps have been manageable.

Dashboard is coming together! All outlets/relays/analog are working. Still need to figure out how to display the analog inputs...what do you think, chart/gauge/text or combination?

Code is finished and working for HS300. Pull request submitted to original repo!

I should have a HS100, HS105, and HS107 this weekend to confirm code works on all models.

PR has been merged into master! This means the node-red-contrib-tplink now supports multi-plug devices such as the HS107 and HS300.

Logic is functional! This allows for javascript coding per outlet for maximum configuration possibilities. This is passed to a global function every 3 seconds to process the JS to determine true/false/int state of outlet.

Thoughts on analog inputs?

FYI, the Widgetlords 2x4MIO module has a minor issue with the libwidgetlords library which causes both channels to only ready channel 1 input. Not a hardware issue, simply a fudged number in the code.
Pull request has been pushed to solve this issue, hopefully they merge the fix sometime soon.

Yes, it looks similar to Apex, but functionally different on many level. I have a few ideas on how to improve the outlet/switches but haven’t had the time to code it.
Stellar progress. Pushing the multi plug supports upstream will help every user . Kudos

Although not directly related to the controller, the light will need to interface with it. About a year ago, I purchased a custom six-puck Nanobox Reef fixture for this build, however upon receiving it the build/wiring wasn't exactly what I wanted. So, I've torn it apart and plan to rebuild it with the drivers integrated into the housing. The LDD drivers on the original fixture would be too big so I had to go another route.
I've since ordered a pair of 5-channel LED drivers to run a DIY Nanobox fixture. These will integrate with the controller via MQTT utilizing an on-board ESP8266 wifi chip. This also offers an HTML front end for direct control...kinda cool. Code is all open-source and available on Github.
