You can buy used electric meters, I'm sure you can buy a used smart meter even, I'm sure that if you take one apart you will not find a switch that can shut off the 200amps that could be flowing through the meter, but instead you will find a shunt for measuring how many watts are being used that is why the switches that can be installed to shut down single devices only shut down a single device, the time of use meters don't shut down devices, they log electrical use and the the time of day.
