maybe try “virtual power meter” or similar - nope.

Geez. Is smartthings losing power? Is it a metaphor, foreshadowing, what?

I think below is my crappy early solution that adapted a simulated temperature sensor for power readout on ActionTiles. I don’t think the units are watts (so it kinda sucks). No warranty and no support:
