Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery

I’m in a rental too. It’s non-invasive; just gotta pop the panel cover off, clip the transformers over the wires without disconnecting them, and put the cover back.

Uh oh. Red flag.
This may be where the rental agreement is broken. Define ‘pop’ . Two hands and a tool? Clear it with the landlord first. The company running the 400-unit building where I am now is gonna say F No.

That’s between you and your landlord. Mine was fine with it as it doesn’t actually modify any of the wiring.
