Cheap Smart Plug for Energy Monitoring

[mantheman]

So, I am trying to buy a cheap smart plug just to know how much power my devices are consuming.
I am thinking of getting QUBO 10A Smart Plug ₹740.
People who have had experience with smart plugs, I want a cheap and moderately accurate power (Watt) meter.
I do not intend to use it 24/7. Just casually testing new devices to see the power consumption.

Those are not even moderately accurate. Instead try the Meco -

Energy meter/Power meter to check power consumption

Please suggest an energy meter to check the daily power consumption of household consumer equipments. There are so many of them in Amazon and not sure which is reliable one. My budget is around 2k.

I know these, they are so expensive, that's the reason why I am considering smart plugs.

you're better off with something reliable like Meco that comes with a calibration certificate before getting into smart plugs.

You will have to have a reference measurement t know how reliable or not these plugs are.
