Unfortunately, no. There have to be some sacrifices! I also have Sonoff S31's (flashed with ESPHome as well) with power monitoring but the Sylvania ones were so cheap I can forgive them not having it when all I need is a dumb on/off switch. Not having to open them and solder wires to flash them is another plus, like you mentioned
What's the best available choices? Small like these is good also.

I think the Sonoff S31s are the cheapest I've found. They're 6.80 right now [amazon.com] on Amazon.
The Cree ConnectedMax A19 on the other hand do have cloud support. The color modes are a bit, shall we say, candy light, but the warm and cool white are semi-decent. These are useful.
The Sylvania retrofit downlights on the other hand have far better warm and cool whites. If you are lucky enough to have a Sylvania hub you get the option for scenes. There appears to be no such support in Smartthings. The repeater function doesn't seem to work for me in Smartthings. These are useful and above average.
I can't say I have experience with the Sylvania Smart+ strip lights.
I rarely see any new device using esp chips.

fyi. I tried setting a plug up with the Tuya app as someone suggested in an earlier post but I couldn't get that to work. So I downloaded the Sylvania app, set up the plug and connected it to Alexa....that went very smoothly for me.
One of the failed to register and the other said it failed but still showed up in the Sylvania app. Couldn't get the failed one to factory reset (turn off / on 5 times quickly, tried 8 times, tried waiting a few seconds between each turn, lots of permutations but none worked). Tried to get the "registered" one to factory reset and it won't factory reset either.
Called support (number on the box) and they stated that it sounds like I have a bad batch and to return them. They also suggested that I ignore the model and purchase a different more reliable model on amazon (I cannot recall the model number they gave me).
TLDR: the 4 light bulb packs might be junk and Sylvania support says to return and ignore them :-)
