This data is not usually available to the user (directly, you need to use the power outlet application), and it is sent to the company servers.

  If you want to check, if your power outlets are compatible for this tutorial, they should have the...

I wanted to use the Google IoT Core, but MicroPython doesn't support JSON Web Token (JWT), which is needed for the device authentication. I tried to write the library myself, but it didn't work, because of the needed dependencies and the small mem...
