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.
At this point buying Chinese made in China or perhaps European made in China might be the least bad option. At least they’re cheaper and less money goes to an American multinational tumor. But you gotta make sure it’s actually safety certified. I have some ZooZ Z-Wave units, but I’ve also been eyeing Aeotec.
