Smart plug with energy monitoring

Configuration

I would like a smart plug that allows energy monitoring, such that I can plot the energy usage in HA. Does anyone know of such a plug? Something like the following:

Floureon Power Meter AC 230V~250V 13A Max UK Switch Plug Energy Monitor LCD Display Blue Backlight Power Consumption Cost Meter Watt Voltage Amp Meter Calculator Analyzer (TS-836B) [Energy Class A+++] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077ZWZW5T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_s6RzAbVX5658Z

If you can cut the wire or hide the cables I recommend the Sonoff Pow. After the calibration in Tasmota mine has a low error ( 1% from the multimeter), while a power meter like the one you linked had a much greater difference (up to 5%)

+1 for the Sonoff PoW

If you need something that doesn’t need much fiddling then something like Wemo Insight Switch, would work fine.

Are you using POW or POW R2 for this ?
