@Thunder1805, what does your comment mean in this feature request?
If you are trying to use anything via Api, you should use another account than in the App, otherwise they kick out eachother and after 10 times your IP is banned for 24 hours, which is what this error means.

+1 for this request. Have successfully connected the integration and it sees my 240W charging station but receives none of the metrics and has no ability to control power output or on/off.

Hi @sethgregory
Not sure if this issue is right for you. This issue is solely for Anker Smart plug device support.
The 240W charging device is not supported at all and probably cannot be supported via cloud Api since it cannot be configured into a power system in the mobile App. This is mentioned in various places.
So the only information you will ever get from that device is what you see with the current integration, unless you find additional fields in the cloud via Api exploration that could be implemented. Then you have to document the Api requests, parameters and response examples to pick this up in the api libaray and Integration.
