    Z-wave receptacle with Child Lockout and energy usage and tamper-resistant?

    Primary use case (but I'd like to add others too): Kiddo got a TV in her room now, and I'd like to A) Monitor how many hours it's on, trigger alerts, shut it off etc., B) Lockout the control button C) Have tamper-resistant outlets due to her twin 3-yr-old brothers.

    Looks like the Cooper RFTR9505 are the only game in town, but I hesitate a little because it also looks like they're out of stock/ discontinued at a lot of places. Prices range from $55-$200 !

    Should I snatch up whatever I can at the lowest price possible, or are there other options out there with this combination of features?

    TIA

    I use the Aeon Smart Energy Switches to monitor TVs and detect when they are on or not. They do provide wattage/power info, but I just detect if they are on/off. Using HS events, you can turn it off by using a timer or any other condition. The plugs fit all the way over the receptacle and they are a little difficult to pull out.

      Not sure if a plug is suitable for you vs a receptacle, but this one looks interesting and would cover the lower plug. I have not used it but may be helpful to you:
