Shelly plug S gen1 and AqaraT2?

[strelniece]

Just want to check a couple of things before diving into it...

Some years ago I did do some measuring but never submitted them, completely forgot and well, now I need to do them again... And also have some new ones not yet in the library.

So, is the Shelly Plug S with Hardware gen1 still a good choice? How much does it differ from the suggested gen3?

Otherwise, are there any alternatives that are zigbee/zwave/matter? Or only wifi are possible?

The ones I'm planning on measuring are AqaraT2 GU10 and E27 CCT/RGB, one Ledvance Smart+ undercabinet TW Z3 and possible more if I have time to disasembly them...

@strelniece Awesome that you are willing to contribute to the library.
The Shelly PM Mini Gen3 is a good choice, many recent profiles were made with that:

It has better accuracy than Shelly gen1, also see #2699 (comment).

You can also use Zigbee/Zwave plugs but it tends to be more difficult as they have lower update frequencies, to prevent overloading zigbee network. For the measure tool frequent updates are important, otherwise it will cause retries and cause the measure session to take longer.
