Guys what are your favourite smart plug? I need one with easy integration with grafana, not sucking, and shipment to EU country?
ATHOM plugs are very nice, you can order one with ESPHome or Tasomata firmware preinstalled and they can ship from Germany https://www.athom.tech/
Per plug monitoring is cool however for getting specific devices on a circuit.

I got a Zigbee power breaker and hooked it up so all my flat's power goes through it, and then made an e-ink display to show my power consumption: https://www.stavros.io/posts/making-the-timeframe/
That was a great write up! I wish I had the time to follow-up this guide. Thanks for sharing it!
i'm trying to nudge Grafana into the direction of IoT/SCADA control, so we can be both, a great way to viz (data sources) and to control (data sinks). not personally a huge fan of having to recommend Home Assistant for that use case :) (i work at Grafana Labs)

I'm curious, which power breaker do you have?

Can you link the power breaker?

For the uninitiated, CE marking is meaningless (it allows for self-certification).
I'd like to see Big Clive do a teardown of one of those.
I used IoTaWatt devices, which can be installed in panels. It is a great solution for by circuit monitoring, and has direct influxdb integration so you can use Grafana.

You're running all your flat's power through that $14 Chinese rubbish and never assumed that shortcuts were taken or quality would be an issue? How do you know it will continue to function as a circuit breaker and isn't just a piece of wire inside? For the uninitiated, CE marking is meaningless (it allows for self-certification).
