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!

I have to admit, I forgot about the Zigbee part when I replied.

The S31 Lite, which uses Zigbee, is supported by Tasmota. However they have a max current draw of 5 amps and don't do power monitoring like the regular Wifi S31. I haven't used the S31 Lite, so I can't speak to how the pairing works or other details.
