Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring Recommendation

Hi all…just wondering what the state of play is regarding smart plugs and home assistant

I’m currently in the tapo camp either p100 or p110 and I’ve heard they arent that great in homeassistant but ive not really played with them much in homeassistant tbh at all

In fact my home assistant box has been off for some time now but I do intend to go back to it at some point and just wondering if there’s better plugs as I’d like to buy more p110 but not sure if that’s a great idea

I know sonoff used to be raved about a while back and I do still have one of those in the attic that’s been flashed…are the plugs that they offer any good for example

Thanks

It may be useful to know which country you are in because smart plugs are country specific and not always available in all countries.

I’ve used SmartThings plugs where I need power monitoring. These are quite old models now though.

Where power monitoring isn’t needed I’ve been using these most recently:

I also got this recently:
