These smart plugs have worked great for me. I use them to run some lights on a schedule (mainly). The energy monitoring ones are particularly handy for being able to get an idea of how much power stuff uses (in lieu of something like a kill-a-watt), or keep an eye on it over the long term.
I'm considering picking up the monitoring ones for my Linux mini-PC that I'm using as a home server. Would be cool to know how much it actually costs to run. Only sad part is that plugging it in would kill my 6 week streak of continuous uptime 🥲

If you have a UPS for it (you should, if it's a server), do it 'upstream' of the UPS. That'll give you an idea of how much the whole setup (including the UPS) uses

a UPS will give a total read out
TP-Link 𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗼 Smart Plug Wi-Fi Mini, Energy Monitoring, Compatible with Alexa & Google Home & Samsung SmartThings, Timer, 15A/1800W Max, ETL Certified, 2.4G Wi-Fi Only, Tapo P115(4-Pack) $24.99
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7FZ97T5
Tapo app can control Kasa devices but Kasa's app cannot control Tapo devices; Tapo is like the parent company now.
The P115 energy monitor shows you daily power usage on a timeline. Many of the Kasa energy monitor plugs I have only show you one day, one week, or one month; They don't show you each days usage.
