Here is another wifi energy metering switch.

Not sure if it is ewelink/sonoff compatible?

 

Does anyone know if this Astute "breaker" can be flashed with Tasmota?

Can always be reflashed if you are dedicated enough and will swop enough stuff out. 

Astute runs on the TUYA platform, the standard out the box unit cannot be reflashed with Tasmota.

To use Tasmota you basically have to haul the guts out and replace them with a ESP8266 microprocessor (they use something else)

If you want to flash them for use in Home Assistant, the new Tuya integration is working pretty well including power monitoring. Was buggy in the October release but November release has worked pretty solidly

Agreed @RobboI never bothered reflashing all my Tuya plugs, looked like way too much hastle and the functionality under HA is great

I installed this behind my mains breaker, and earth leakage to provide extra protection. Stove is usually 40A. If you are worried, install another 40A in front of this.

 

 

The SMT device is not a circuit breaker, only a Smart switch that can fit directly in your DB, you still need your circuit breaker and earth leakage for safety as it wont "trip" if something goes wrong

Anyone worked out how to get the consumption into Home assistant from the 63A switch

Sonoff Pow Power Consumption

For update power consumption of all your Pow devices you can call sonoff.update_consumption service.

The device attributes will display data for the last 100 days. The first element is today's data. It's up to you how often to call updates and what to do with this data later.

Remember, without calling the service, there will be no values. Use automation.

sensor:
- platform: template
  sensors:
    today_consumption:
      friendly_name: Today consumpion
      unit_of_measurement: kWh
      value_template: "{{ state_attr('switch.sonoff_1000abcdef', 'consumption').0 }}"
    ten_days_consumption:
      friendly_name: 10 days consumpion
      unit_of_measurement: kWh
      value_template: "{% set p=state_attr('switch.sonoff_1000abcdef', 'consumption') %}{{ p[:10]|sum if p }}"

 

We bought 5 of these for our office to turn aircons off when loadshedding hits. Works great, except that they constantly keep losing wifi connectivity. They do reconnect eventually, but this means that some of them often don't get the HA command to turn off or on because it happened to be disconnected at the time. They are within a few meters of the AP. Anyone had any issues like this with these units? We mounted them next to the main DB in their own enclosure so I didn't think all the current in the DB should have any effect on the Wifi signal?!

Dave, did you solve this disconnect issue?
I find a similar disconnect of some devices when using the Ewelink integration in Home Assistant, whereas the Sonoff devices work fine when controlling them directly from Ewelink. So it's not a Wifi disconnect, but rather a HA <-> Ewelink disconnect, and it happens differently for different devices. I.e. one Ewelink device works in HA at some point, while another one does not, and sometimes both works in HA, and other times none work in HA.
