Carl J Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I'm new a this, and very grateful if someone would advice me. I have a Shelly Plus Plug S. With which I plan to monitor the energy consumption of a Cpap machine (A cpap is a machine that you sleep with at night and assist your breathing, so that you dont snore, and stops breathing). My problem is that i turn off my machine in my sleep (!), which results in very poor sleep. The "alarm" function I need is not built in to the machine, so I intend to use the Shelly plug to monitor the energy consumption of the machine; If the energy consumption drops under 5 W, means that it is in standby mode, and that I have shut it off. I would like this threshold to trigger an alarm in the form of a text message, which would wake me up - I would then realize that I need to turn the machine on again. What do you think, is it feasible with Shelly? / Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thgoebel Posted March 16 Members Share Posted March 16 What if you would disable the on/off switch of the machine? Perhaps a little box could be fixed over the switch… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl J Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 When you wake up you need to be able to switch it off right away. It would be too impractical to have an obstacle like that. A reminder in the form of a text message or some other form av alarm would be the best thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl J Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Please, administrator, I might have put my question in the wrong category. If you feel like moving it to the proper place, please do so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
