I have about 10 generic Tuya Wi-Fi plugs for the UK (LSPA8, WHDZ03 and other codes) which I've flashed with OpenBeken, mostly by disassembling them and using UART. They are a couple of years old, and recently some have died. I have had trouble finding replacements. I've bought a few similar-looking ones via AliExpress, but found they had somewhat different boards in them and were hard or impossible to flash.
Can anyone recommend a power-monitoring smart plug for the UK, available in 2026, that can be reliably flashed with OpenBeken?
Thanks!

AI: Are you specifically looking for plugs that can be flashed via UART after disassembly, or would OTA/cloudcutter-style flashing also be acceptable?[/i]
Either would be fine, preferably OTA or cloudcutter.
AI: What sort of loads do you need them for - e.g. light monitoring only, or higher-power appliances up to 13 A?[/i]
Ideally high power, but I would be OK with light monitoring only.
