I like the flexibility the power strip offers, but i think it would be great to have the possibility of power consumption monitoring like the smart plugs have (even if not by individual outlet). I know that theoretically I could plug the strip into the smart plug and have an overview there, but that would be impractical for a couple of reasons for me: firstly, having two Tapo devices in a row seems redundant, secondly, I have the power strip plugged into an outlet behind the cabinet, which would mean that I would have to move a cabinet further from the wall if any additional device is plugged in between…

Does anybody have an alternative approach which provides the same solution?
