What is the cheapest power consumption measurement device?
Looking at either 10 or 16 amp.
No need to be brand specific.

Thank you.
 
Sonoff Pow works well enough for my needs.

Correct. Do they even make the older POW any more?

That said the normal POW does measure consumption as per op request.

Not sure to be honest, they probably do. But it's only really good for turning things on and off.

It's also good for measuring power consumption, at least that's what I'm using mine for.

Yeah - those are just a switch like the Minis. Useful in their own right but they won't get this job done.

The Sonoff in that photo is the older mk1 model. Given the choice I would get the POW R2.

This seems to be the mk2 https://www.geewiz.co.za/smart-home...patible-with-google-home-alexa-16a-3500w.html

If you didn't want the cheapest, you could do the neatest, I think :

It's a Shelly 1PM in a Shelly Button case, so manual button etc. But limited to 11A in this config
