Don’t know, but if somebody has that tip, please also check what happens if power drops and is switched on again. What is the recovery of the plug? On or off….  
(Would be a waste if the fridge does not switching after a power drop)

For critical devices, I would prefer externalmeasurement (Shelly has “clamps” around the wires to measure current)
