    Does anyone know of any decent alternatives to this model? (with energy monitoring)
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Monitor-Required-Control-Schedule-Function/dp/B07QX6CF46 are the ones I have (four of).

    EDIT:  Darn it - missed the out of stock bit !!!

    Mine measured 1.22 Watts supplying another identical smart switch in standby (to give a comparison to FreeBear's measured numbers) and 1.89 / 2.16 W when supplying a Meross 4-way mains and usb outlet power strip (non-energy monitoring) in standby/all on (5x relays operating).
    BUT even those numbers fluctuate as they send and receive data over wifi... so a long time (many hours) read would be needed to gauge an accurate number. 
    (The single feeding a single has gone between 1.03 and 1.75 Watts between standby on.  Confused yet? I am ;) )


    thanks for looking.

    I picked up a couple on the BT shop
  • Yup, was hidden when I uploaded picture but it’s 6k+ kWh 

    We reliably use 500+kWh a month and only used the oil filled rads in the coldest month last year, so it’s not that

    I have just measured the amount of energy my 90W, 23 year old fridge has been using.  It used 0.65 kWh in one day. That equates about 20 kWh per month.    It is an under-the-worktop type, about the size of a washing machine, so quite small by today's standards.
