Shelly Pro 4PM
Shelly Pro 4PM is a DIN-rail, four-channel smart relay with built-in precision power metering per channel, plus Wi-Fi and LAN. It is a strong option for home and light commercial automation when you want remote control, scheduling, and energy monitoring, but it is geared toward installs inside the breaker box and careful Wi-Fi setup for stable connectivity.
Kasa Smart Kasa Apple HomeKit Smart Light Switch KS200P3 (3-Pack)
The Kasa Smart KS200P3 is a neutral-wire-required, single-pole HomeKit smart light switch kit designed for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi homes. It supports Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, adds scheduling and countdown timers, and lets you control lights remotely through the Kasa app. The main tradeoff is the wiring requirement (neutral needed), and some buyers note minor fit and packaging hiccups.

Refoss Smart Home Energy Monitor, Native Open API & Web UI (No Cloud Required)
The Refoss EM16 is a circuit-level smart energy monitor built for local control, native Home Assistant integration, and offline-friendly data access. It supports whole-home style monitoring (2 main sensors plus up to 16 branch circuits), real-time power measurements, and automation for solar “zero feed-in” style use cases, with ±1% accuracy claims at higher currents. The main tradeoffs are planning the circuits you want to measure and dealing with permanent clamp wiring during installation.

A WiFi circuit-level energy monitor for tracking real-time power use and allocating electricity costs room by room. Strong fit for rental properties and shared apartments, with useful Home Assistant and MQTT “privacy mode” options. Main tradeoff: you need to be comfortable using clamp sensors inside a circuit panel, and extremely precise billing-grade accuracy may require extra caution.
