Hi guys, does anyone know what is the reason for Athom not being able to (temporarily?) ship to EU? thanks for any clarifications...

Hi All. Apologies in advance if this info is available, I can't find a manual. I want to increase the frequency of polling power sensor details from a V3 plug. Currently it's just the default 5min period. I have tried posting a few MQTT commands to the plug and can get responses like status and power (on/off) but I can't seem to find a command that will issue the power/voltage info. In the future my thoughts are to add exception criteria to cause it to post a message when there has been significant change in a value but I haven't done a Tasmota build as yet so that's in the future. Thanks!

During reset ESP32 pins are set to their defaults, which happens to be low for pin 5, where the relay is connected to. If it was inverted, active low, then reboots for any reason (connection loss, ota updates) would not cut the power. This is very unfortunate, since I can only use it with UPS protected devices or where a short power loss does not matter much. You could argue that the current way is better, a turned off plug would turn on for a short time, and somebody would not want that, but how likely is that.
