Does anyone have a #HomeAssistant compatible recommendation for affordable 230v zigbee/wifi power meters that can handle a sustained higher load from things like an oven or a dryer? It’s fine if they need to be spliced into the cord but the plug-in type is obviously preferred. Ones that use current transformers instead of a shunt resistor are obviously preferred given the higher loads. I don’t care about power factor etc. Oh and they don’t need to be able to switch the power but it’d be a plus.

@marlies I DID run into issues with the IKEA Inspelning for my Dryer and solved it by using a Shelly 1PM Gen4.

@MartinH Oh! I was just about to settle on those based on @zr40’s recommendation!

My dryer is pretty old, maybe the Inspelning works with yours. I use the Inspelnings for all other devices and they are great. Only my dryer triggered it to stop working, I guess because of the high Watt consuption.
You have decide for yourself ;-)

@MartinH @marlies @zr40 I have multiple Inspelnings on high load dev8ces like washing machine, dryer, Ninja and other like freezer etc. Never even the slightest issue. However I do not have them on my ovens. Too high a load I reckon. I'd go with Shelly stuff for that, as mentioned already.

I believe Inspelnings are discontinued now too so that will cause an issue! If you can manage it, go with Shelly stuff, it has a great reputation.
