What about using a Shelly relay with power monitoring, and installing it inside the outlet?

I have a few Shelly 1PM Pluses that I do this with, but Shelly is starting to make ZigBee and ZWave devices too. I haven’t looked to see if they have a ZigBee one with power monitoring, but I’d bet they do.

Another option is something like using an Emporia Vue 2 or a system from Circuit Setup to monitor power from your breaker panel. Both can be flashed with ESPHome and record directly to HA. Not sure how well they work in the EU, but I’m planning on getting an Emporia Vue 2 here in the US.

Thanks for the follow up post!

I’m impressed they came back out so quick, but it definitely looks way better. And most importantly, they used the correct (SC APC) connector this time, so you don’t lose a ton of light at the coupling 👍
