As the title says, I’m looking for a plug that can measure power consumption, but does not even have a relay to power it on or off. I want it always to be on. The reason is that I’m tired of my smart plugs randomly turning off for no reason, even after I’ve updated them to the latest firmware version. Heck, I even have an automation in Home Assistant that turns them on again when it happens. I don’t even know if what I’m looking for does even exist. I’ve been looking around and haven’t found anything like it. If any of you fine folks know, please shout!

    I have had this too, but the reason is the poor quality of the plugs. The relay basically broke. Go for better quality hardware and you won’t have this problem anymore.
