[Feature Request] Add support for external power consumption monitoring #26

Hi, thanks for the plugin. As the power consumption monitoring is not very accurate when estimating it like this, I would suggest adding the possibility to input data from an external power consumption monitoring device. E.g. a WiFi plug flashed with Tasmota firmware. Data could be provided via a REST API directly (JSON) or a bash command like it is done in the PSU-Control plugin.

G'Day @darkcheater This sounds like a good idea, not sure when I'll get a chance to implement it though. If anyone wants to submit a PR with this feature added, go for it! Cheers, Alex.

Hi, I'm using pzem-004t meter to measurements printer power consumption. It's easy to use with custom scripts so please take it into account when you work on this task. Greetings :)
