How do I know which shelly device to use smart home automation?

E.g. if I wanted a Zigbee model to make a bathroom extractor fan smart, how do I decide which model to get?

So far it seems like Shelly has cornered the market for smart home enthusiasts with a BSc or better in electrical engineering 🙁

This is for the UK if it matters.

Shelly has a "shop by technology" section in their sidebar under Products

Thanks

My message probably wasn't clear, I've found the ZigBee devices, but don't know which ones are suitable for a socket driving e.g. an extractor fan, oven, light, washing machine, computer

#

I'd consider non-zigbee models if theyre the right ones for the jobs, but have no idea which ones would be

Generally none and all of them

#

You usually go by current and wether or not you need to be able to switch the device on and off

#

This very much depends on your devices specs

#

For the oven, washing machine and likely the extractor, a monitoring only solution is kinda the way

I've found the power usage (240V I think as I'm in the UK) for a few of my devices:

Washer dry power: 1900 - 2250 W (Wash) / 1000 W (Dry)

Bathroom extractor fan 3.2W

Other than the washer, the others are within an 8A rating, no?

Another question while I'm at it, can clamps be installed inside/behind plug sockets (like the relays/Shellys are)?

I presume a relay provides the ability to control power flow (e.g. on/off), so without a relay you get a read-only sensor of power usage, but no ability to control it.

Yes

Besides the oven and the washer I do think the other stuff should work
