Consider buying a combination of plugs instead of 8 of these. The 12 amp mini smart plug HS103P3 is well made and has frequently been promoted for $6. Mine were easy to set up and use on both G.A. and Alexa simultaneously and have been perfectly reliable for 2 years but I plan to buy a few of the more capable models. The light weight Kasa app is great too with an easy to launch timer which is great for phone chargers.

Without the energy monitoring function it would still be useful to be able to turn off lights, especially if you're cold/lazy and already in bed, electronics (TVs, Router/Modem, stereo system), adapters left plugged in, cordless tool battery chargers in your garage, or even set semi-random schedules for those things while you're away so your house doesn't look totally abandoned.
You can use it to remotely turn off your garage door opener in case a family member or ex that you don't want in your garage while you're away still has a remote.
I don't find it useful for coffee makers and the like because most of those have programmable start, so turning them off remotely typically clears that memory and resets the clock, so kind of defeats the purpose.
You can use them on a (gas) dryer or washer to make sure they're turned off so they don't burn down or flood your house while you're out, too. Lots of insurance claims for that sort of thing, believe it or not.
I just wish I had a useful way to do the same with things like my 220v hard wired hot tub.
