I just learned that the Eve Energy smart plugs transmit energy consumption information via Matter. I didn't think energy consumption information was supported in Matter yet, but it is.

This makes them incredible to use with the Home Assistant Energy dashboard.

Even tho I was hesitant for a while, I took the leap to using the Matter beta Home Assistant integration and no issues so far.

It looks like it got added in the protocol V1.3 and then further refined in 1.4: https://csa-iot.org/newsroom/matter-1-4-enables-more-capable-smart-homes/

Yep just saw that too after I researched it a bit more. What is strange is I don't remember Eve Energy having a firmware update since then. Makes me wonder if they had it ready to go in previous firmware versions based on internal specs they saw? Or maybe I just forgot about a firmware update I did.
