How do I know if my device supports emeter? #510
Description
The readme page states: emeter (where applicable) to return energy consumption information.
How can I find out which devices support emeter before I buy one?
For instance, does model HS105 support it?

The emeter is available on devices where TP-Link's product page lists energy monitoring as a feature, so I don't those support it. I don't know about the US models, but KP125 or the ones listed when filtering with energy monitoring might be what you are looking for.
Note that there's also a matter-enabled KP125M which is not currently supported by this library, the related issue is #450.

@rytilahti Thank you. Ended up getting KP115, which is listed as with "energy monitoring" and is present on the list of supported devices.
As far as matter-enabled... does the issue you linked mean that the library doesn't support KP125M device specifically or it doesn't support any matter enabled devices?

Sure thing, all those in the README are reportedly working, so you are good to go.
About the matter-enabled devices; this library supports currently only wifi-connected, kasa-branded devices. While those KP125M devices (and maybe others?) do support controls over wifi, they use a different protocol that is currently not implemented in this library. They might become supported at some point though, if #499 gets developed further.
