Looking for a zigbee power meter plug without a switch (lemmy.ml)

As the title says, I'm looking for a plug that can measure power consumption, but does not even have a relay to power it on or off. I want it always to be on. The reason is that I'm tired of my smart plugs randomly turning off for no reason, even after I've updated them to the latest firmware version. Heck, I even have an automation in Home Assistant that turns them on again when it happens. I don't even know if what I'm looking for does even exist. I've been looking around and haven't found anything like it. If any of you fine folks know, please shout!

Definitely something screwy with your setup. I have over 70 ZigBee bulbs from a mixture of brands and even the most distant ones - two or three hops from the dongle - are rock solid. My bedroom has eight bulbs and is as far from the controller as it gets and it's rare for there to be a delay of more than half a second.
