> and yell at me if the cooktop is drawing power

For standard power outlets I have "smart plugs" that measure the power draw, are there ones that support 40A/240V appliances?

I'm a zigbee fan, mostly because there's such a wide variety of devices.

I almost exlusively use zigbee2mqtt [0] reference to find devices that suit me. Searching for `meter` gives a lot of options, you'd have to do more investigation to find something that supported 40A, but my guess would be that a clamp meter is likely your best option.

It's also possible that you could use one of the DIN rail options in your fusebox, but I haven't looked at the current ratings.

You're gonna need power meters for that. E.g. check out the Shelly *EM series.
