Is it true that "no relay" plugs are suitable for monitoring energy use in washing machine, fridge freezer, tumble drier and so on (ie inductive loads)?

I've read in a couple of places that people are doing this. This seems questionable, but idk enough myself. If not, what do folk use to monitor power in these cases?

Watching this video on making a "dumb device" into a smart device without calling a company, without the need for a proprietary app, etc.

It's a lot of work, but this feels like just the kind of thing that makes the world a better place.
