Sold on Aliexpress with "Baseus" brand at least. In my experience, these things are commonly called 'USB power meter's. Mine measures voltage and current. It's already somewhat old, having only USB-A and Micro-USB connections and only upto 5.8V and 3A, so no USB Power Delivery capability. Mine is brand Voltcraft and sold through the Conrad electronics (etc.) website. I use conrad.nl. The company is German, so conrad.de and probably also in/for other countries (I didn't see a country selection). FWIW, I wouldn't buy this stuff - or most other stuff for that matter - from Aliexpress or similar sites. Rather spend a few Euros more and buy from a local/reputable supplier. But YMMV/YMWV.
