The homekit addon documentation states for the Outlet accessory type ...
InUseStatus | | Switch | indicates whether current flowing through the outletThe apple homekit documentation reads ...
9.69 Outlet In Use
"This characteristic describes if the power outlet has an appliance e.g., a floor lamp, physically plugged in. This characteristic
is set to True even if the plugged-in appliance is off."
So "Outlet.InUseStatus" seems to have nothing to do with current flowing at all.
Should be "yes" or "on" when a device is normally plugged in, "no" or "off" otherwise.
