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

My instinct says that what you are seeing is coming from the measurement or logging system, not from the CT. Highly recommend you check the device you purchase is compatible with the frequencies used in your setup.

I could not get the lower amperage CT clamp at the time, and if necessary I can get another one, but at the same time I don’t see why it should not work to some degree. While there might be cheaper options online, home automation can be complex, and having experts by your side can prevent costly mistakes. We were on oil but to meet the whole house cals building regs we needed to use a green heating system. I was desperately wanting to get this working this week but after spending about 4 solid days on it I have had no success.The clamp has to by placed only around ONE wire (L conductor, usualy brown or red) and NOT around the whole cable with both L and N conductors. Z-Wave Plus Aeotec Clamp Power Meter - One Clamp (60A) includes the following technologies, which means it should work fine with other devices using the same technology.

Okay, first of all you need to understand setting Debounce does not limit the actual message frequency the device publishes, it’s simply not relaying that data in MQTT (Home Assistant) and thus not cluttering the database. You also do not have rcd protection in that fuse box, the fuses are there to protect the cables, not people, so be very careful with your electrics in general, fuses might not disconnect / wont disconnect in time if you get a shock and you could be electrocuted.

Monitor consumption of your whole home or generated electricity from solar panels with a one of its kind WiFi-operated energy meter with contactor control functionality. Easy to Use App: Our smart energy monitor comes with a user-friendly app that lets you monitor your device's power usage percentage, voltage, current and power. As usual, I’m going to disassemble the device, install and test it’s usage and integrate it in Home Assistant. I have some without the clamps, only switch with power metering, and the update speed is awful, sometimes > 5s. On the first image you can see the state before and after playing around with the CT, arranging things, etc.

It’s labelled as model PJ-CT-110301, although I could not find out who manufactured it, so all that remains is to test and benchmark it. With real-time display of hourly, daily, monthly and yearly energy consumption in kWh, you can easily keep track of your household electrical usage and costs. Can I measure the energy that my solar panel are producing by placing the clamp in the positive cable that comes from the panel to the inverter?Firstly you need a microcontroller, and in this case you must get the D1 Mini, and you must make sure it either comes with soldered headers or that you can solder the headers on to it yourself. state” on line 59 with the number 240 and then delete the home assistant sensor section (lines 42 – 47).

However, I’ve never seen these clamps on installation photos (even with expensive, brand ones) or live installed as a tight fit nor on a completely straight cable or far from other cables - on the contrary! I have used (and therefore only tested) a basic configuration of report clamp 1 in group 1, clamp 2 in group 2, and clamp 3 in group 3.

This might be in your cupboard or in the hallway cupboard for a block of flats, if you dont have easy access to your meter, or just put it on the meter where ever it is and check it every so often. I found that I needed to calibrate the bottom end of the sensor slightly too because it was picking up some interference and reporting about 60 amps when nothing was connected, so my lower end calibration value is actually 0. For what it's worth, and for the guidance of others, these plugs fit the drain hole on a Perception Triumph 13. So - can I fit it myself - no because the big wires are too big, I need to attach it to the smaller big wire's in the consumer unit.
