I bought the WIFI socket for the possibility of measuring consumption even where I don' t have a zigbee gateway (cottage). This drawer is really small and mainly does not get in the way of the double drawer. It' s easy to pair (which you' ll appreciate because of the socket reset). That' s where the positives end.
Even measuring in the next room, where there is no wifi router, is a problem in some places, because it reports blackouts and a weak signal. The native application is quite sufficient for control, although sometimes annoying (why do I have to unclick a dialog requesting access to the location every time I want to open a socket profile to control it, for the purposes of some " profiles" that are anyway behind a paywall and I don' t use them, when I already disabled it several times).
The socket detail screen actually shows the current voltage, current and power (with a slight delay). However, the daily and monthly totals are not updated correctly and the values do not correspond to the measured amount on the consumption tab. On this tab there are graphs with measured values. The smallest is after hours, then days, months and years. Unfortunately, the next day you won' t be able to look at " yesterday' s" schedule. If you want to see, for example, the consumption of the device over the course of the entire 24 hours by individual hours and you go past midnight, you are out of luck. A lower interval (minutes) would also be useful at times. This is related to the missing start/stop measurement option, when you choose the beginning of the measurement and then its end, and you want to know the flow in this interval. This way, you either remember when you measured it or you have to reset the entire socket, which means de-pairing it and erasing the measured values. It is not even possible to export them to a table for processing in Excel into a graph.
Last but not least, there are some smart functions in the application, which, according to the pictures, probably have some consumption statistics, but they are behind a paywall, when 70 crowns per month is required. Probably because of them, the app still wants to get the location.
As a basic stationary smart socket with consumption measurement, if you use it close to the router and you don' t want to have clouds of sockets, it' s probably OK, but for more such sockets I' d go for the zigbee version with some kind of gateway, which thanks to the mesh has a much better connection, lower consumption and does not load the router directly. As a drawer for measuring consumption on various appliances, it is not very suitable due to the application and the weaker antenna.
small size
does not interfere with the double socket
consumption monitoring in the native application does not work best and has relatively few options
weak antenna for wifi reception
the application does not have a start/stop function
resetting the measurement can only be done by unpairing the socket, where it is possible to check reset the measurement to zero

By connecting to an app on your smartphone, this socket becomes a really smart switching clock that you can control and program from the other side of the world. The LED on the side then indicates the off/on status. It can control any appliance up to 16A load.
easily programmable spinning clock
control by phone from anywhere
measures the delivered power

The socket is great. I like that it is small, no big bago that blocks other sockets in the extension cord. I tried it on a 3.5 kW direct current heater and the socket switches even such a current-consuming appliance without any problem. I'm going to use it for a 3D printer. The socket has a button on it, so it can be operated without the app. However, the button can also be deactivated, for example for the children. But what I like the most is the great control interface in the app. Everything is clear and logical and nothing essential is missing. Shows current consumption - so it can also be used as a smart meter. I wanted to ask about the maximum length of the consumption history storage, so I called the RETLUX helpdesk, and holy wonder - I got through to a "live person" who advised me! I recommend the product, especially the control is somewhere else than most other smart sockets. Too bad it doesn't support 5GHz networks, but I don't mind.
small size - several sockets fit side by side in the extension cord
great and clear control interface
Measuring consumption
Easy commissioning
CZ standard sockets
Switches up to 16A current (tested by me)
unplugs the zero switch, like most smart sockets on the market
Only supports 2.4 GHz wifi networks

It's interesting that the socket has two MAC addresses when accessing Wi-Fi, one used for registration and the other for normal function - just a reminder, if someone has a firewall enabled on the router, they need to add an exception to both MAC addresses. The Wi-Fi must be 2.4 GHz and the phone that the socket connects to via BlueTooth must be on the same Wi-Fi when pairing. Later on, the phone can be switched to any Wi-Fi or LTE, controlling it from anywhere. Retlux has a great app showing both instantaneous (about 1x every 30s) consumption and consumption history for the day, month, etc. It has a timer and a cycler. It just doesn't have an Apple Watch app, but you can get around that by pairing via the general Tuya app that Apple Watch supports. I am satisfied overall. I'm taking off a star for the unzipped zero.
It's tiny, perhaps the smallest IoT socket I've seen
Due to its small size, it does not take up the entire double drawer
It opens the zero and not the phase, I don't get this. It causes problems with some LED chains that remain lit even when the socket is switched off, and that's only because the socket disconnects the neutral and not the phase. But for power appliances, it doesn't matter.
