Silver Phantom Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Good Day All, Just just looking for some guidance here, I see a lot of members are monitoring usage if various appliances/systems around the house with quiet a few member installations show causing builds that use ct's to monitor usage. I would like to monitor usage using ct's (or ?) 1. by breaker in the db board 2. Measure usage at the council meter ideally I would like to see if I am importing or exporting current (grid tied setup) Is there a plug and play system that I can buy or has one of the members developed their own and us will to sell me a "copy" Thanks Guys, love this forum and leant a lot from it.

IdlePhaedrus Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 For 2 there are might be short codes for your meter. What make and model do you have? Have the codes for two or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdlePhaedrus Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 For 1, look at these: https://openenergymonitor.org/ https://shop.openenergymonitor.com/emonpi-3/ You can buy one ready made, but if you like you can build one yourself. Here are some hardware options depending on how many CTs you want: http://lechacalshop.com/gb/internetofthing/26-raspberrypi-1x-current-sensor-adaptor-1-voltage-emoncms.html http://lechacalshop.com/gb/internetofthing/27-raspberrypi-7x-current-sensor-adaptor-1-voltage-emoncms.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
