I am once again here asking for a product, fully expecting with yet another “you probably won’t find a Canadian alternative for this”. I was surprised with the smartwatch + fitness tracker options last time, so I think this might be worthwhile too.

Does anyone know of an energy monitoring plug? Too many of these are made in China by Chinese and American companies, so I’m hoping to find alternatives here.

Ideally, I’d also like to hook it up with Home Assistant, and either via Zigbee or Matter. If it’s WiFi-only, that’s fine too, but preferably not, cause I don’t want to add more WiFi devices on my network, if possible.

    have you used much Sinope? they definitely feel like they are targeting the ‘premium’ service levels.

      I have the heavy duty relay on my water heater, their water main valve and a bunch of leak sensors.

      They are not cheap but the build quality is good. And you probably won’t find many Canadian, energy metering outlets that will be priced cheaply.
