Power consumption sensor

Starting with version 2 of the firmware, the Edimax switches can also report the current and accumulated daily power consumption in their state objects. Use a template sensor to extract their values:

template:
  - sensor:
    - name: Edimax Current power consumption
      unit_of_measurement: "W"
      state: "{{ state_attr('switch.edimax_smart_plug', 'current_power_w') | default(0, true) }}"
      
    - name: Edimax Accumulated daily power consumption
      unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
      state: "{{ state_attr('switch.edimax_smart_plug', 'today_energy_kwh') | default(0, true) }}"

Note that if the smart plug is off, these states report the string None. By using a replace() in the template, these sensors report purely numerical values.
