Aeotec Home Energy Meter Gen5, Z-Wave Plus Smart Electricity Usage Monitor, Report Real Time Power Consumption, 1 Clamp, Detect up to 60 amps for Single Phase System

Product Information

but you can do it you just need to separate the neutral and live wires and only clamp around one of them. There are no codes wrote on this, so it wasn’t clear at the time if there was a burden resistor already fitted. When you get to low loads this is significant - a typical smoke detector draws 10-20VA which will show up in the readings. In the 3phase installation, when we put eaqual load on each phase, current will be compensated and nothing should flow through neutral. As usual, I’m going to disassemble the device, install and test it’s usage and integrate it in Home Assistant.

With its excellent wireless range and compatibility with Z-Wave networks, this device seamlessly integrates into your smart home setup for efficient energy management. The monitor connects to mains power of the 1 phase system in the electricity box, as such a professional electrician may be required for installation. One thing that I am reasonably certain of, the emonTx sketch does not by itself produce spurious values on alternate measurements. On the contrary, reading various posts on the net I got the impression that the position and angle doesn’t matter, I just need to make sure the wire runs inside the clamp. The consumption of your whole home or generated electricity from solar panels with the only one of its kind WiFi-operated Energy Meter with contactor control functionality in the world.Combat Interference: Discover how to manage and mitigate interference between devices, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted smart home operations.

You will need an accurate meter to benchmark the device against it, and input the offset as a percentage in the Settings (Specific) menu. I was desperately wanting to get this working this week but after spending about 4 solid days on it I have had no success. do I need to go with a different burden resistor if I in reality want to measure currents well below 100A - I really only need 30A max, maybe less.

And the threshold is also high, a small difference between readings, like 5w, will not trigger a new message.These devices give you a fair idea of how much power your whole house is sucking from the grid, live. In Zigbee2MQTT, the device is identified as model TSO601_clamp_meter and manufacturer _TZE204_cjbofhxw. It provides remote monitoring via the SMA Sunny Portal and an overview of all the energy flows taking place in the household. I have an air source heat pump (ASHP) and big electricity bills, so I would like to track the consumption of the ASHP.

is generally the maximum load that we use at home, so should be ok, although I might lower the burden resistor value in the future. That’s why we need the utility meter integration, to create a sum of consumed energy from those values. If a few bytes get missed, or the receiver gets out of step and decodes the data wrongly (which is possible if there’s a long string of zeros), that could cause no end of problems with false data being recorded. Si votre installation est en triphasée, il faudra vous orienter vers le modèle avec les 3 transformateurs d'intensités.The A phase line, the B phase line and the C phase line of the three-phase electric power are respectively connected to the corresponding current transformers. The unit was a set of clamps and a separate display which I connected up to a PC program for logging purposes. I can only think of some peculiar wire arrangement in the box above the test hook that influences measurements when the CT is placed in certain positions… I’m now using simple cloth clips for holding the CTs on the side to avoid future problems. My only issue so far is that it is reporting way too much and suspect it has been the cause of my Home Assistant instance running more sluggish than usual. My instinct says that what you are seeing is coming from the measurement or logging system, not from the CT.
