Recommendations Zigbee Smart Plug (UK) w/ Energy Monitoring

I’ve recently bought 4 of these which are substantially cheaper (half the price) than the alternatives:

They paired with Home Assistant using Zigbee2mqtt without any difficulty (I use the RPi distribution and a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus) and were recognised devices.
They appear as these (TuYa) devices: TuYa TS011F_plug_3 control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT
With the default Zigbee2mqtt setup (which may include some polling because of the newer TuYa firmware in the plug) I am getting all of switch (state), power, current, voltage, energy, power_outage_memory, indicator_mode, lock (state), linkquality exposed.

As a bonus, according to the Zigbee2mqtt Map, my Aqara door sensors and motion sensors appear to be routing quite happily through these plug sockets.

[EDIT: The price has gone up significantly, and the excellent value 4-pack is no longer available]
