Feedback from WiZ:
Only following modules supports getPower message:

ESP25_SOCKET_01
ESP20_SHDW_31R
ESP20_SHRGB_31R
ESP20_SHTW_31R

Help wanted: If someone has one of these types purchased, please give us a hint about type, product and vendor.

It looks like any of the smart plugs manufactured after oct 2021 will have the power monitoring support. I haven't been able to find a vendor that sells one yet though.

Can you tell us what these devices are named on the website? I remember in the wizlight repo (Home Assistant Integration) was a table that had more description for each module type, but I couldn't find it anymore. Maybe people have these devices but don't know it because the internal module type doesn't have any meaning to them or want to buy them to support the project but don't know what to actually buy.

For those running the WiZ Home Assistant Integration: the internal module type can be looked up in HA under Settings -> Devices & Services -> Devices in the 'Model' column

Thanks for your interest. We don't know the model numbers of devices that have these modules.

We do know that smart plugs manufactured after oct 2021 likely have socket module, but after buying from 6 different vendors I've given up trying to find one and will wait until later in the year in the hopes that old inventory is cleared out.

I commented on the gitlab issue details about the getPower command which is working correctly with the newer plugs.

Thanks @timoly

Where did you get the newer plug?

Verkkokauppa.com, It's a Finnish shop which unfortunately doesn't ship internationally

I picked up 2 US ones locally and they were still the old version unfortunately.

If anyone wants to ship me one, I can add support for them since I have a voltage converter to use for testing.

I have a mailbox in the UK if international shipping is cost prohibitive. Contact me at nick at koston.org for the address

You should read the following:
https://taolight.helpshift.com/a/wiz/?s=power-consumption-and-power-outages&f=why-is-there-no-power-consumption-displayed-for-my-device&l=en

"To compute the power consumed by a device, WiZ system uses the regular status report of the devices to the Cloud, associated with reference power consumption data for each mode and brightness, measured in laboratory."

I'm not entirely convinced that reporting energy data that could potentially be incorrect is a good idea.

That's only for the devices that don't have a built in power sensor which are not the ones we are discussing here
