Zooz ZEN15 power monitoring plug

I've never had any of my Zigbee or ZWave smart plugs fail in 5 years. Kasa on the other hand... 8 purchased in the past, 8 have all landed in the trash (including their power strip). Maybe about 1 year or so. No more anything from TP-Link for me. My ZWave smart plugs are all 40A Zooz (Zen15). All of my Zigbee smart plugs are Sylvania Smart+ Zigbee. If you have any Aqara devices in your Zigbee mesh, don't use the Sylvania plug... they are not compatible due to Aqara's non-standard Zigbee lib. User something like Ikea's smart plugs instead.

Do you have little kids? If so, record them saying, - The washer is done - The dryer is done - The dish washer is done - etc.. Then get some power monitoring plugs like the zooz zen15 and create an automation that broadcast the recording on your home speakers. Everytime mine broadcasts, my wife gets giddy.

Either a CT clamp in the electrical panel, or a smart plug rated for appliance use. For example I use a Zooz ZEN15 for my dishwasher.
