Double check that the AC unit doesn’t pull more than 15A {Amps). That’s all those smart plugs are rated for. It’s probably fine, but you don’t want to start a fire. I’ve seen pictures of smart plugs that melted when used on some refrigerators.
Good plan. I think the temp sensor will be an excellent addition. Whole setup could pay for itself in saved energy not leaving the AC running unnecessarily.
Reading through the comments in this thread, I’d just like to mention how amusing it is to see so many people in the fediverse arguing in favor of walled gardens and vendor lock-in. Like, do you even know where you are?
