AU certified?
It’s got Alexa, she should be able to wake you up before the house burns down.
Good luck, technically, you need an electrician to install this as well.
Heymix OK ✅
Can somebody explain purpose of this device? Is this only applicable to solar systems, or any energy consumption monitoring, etc…
No, this can measures any AC circuits including import/export.
That said, I'm just wondering what app is compatible with this one.
So could set it up to switch on hot water or charge the car when exporting over 3kwh?
No, it meters the power, not control.
Well, if you good at coding, you may be able to set up some logic using API
Can it measure negative figures..ie solar export?
I would say it does with "Bidirectional Two Way" in the description
I can't see anything about Bidirectional…
It's right there in the title
"Tuya WiFi 2 Gang 80A Single Phase Clamp Solar PV Bidirectional Two Way Energy Meter Mobilephone APP Control Current Transformer Schedule Timer Home Automation Device"@Quarn: Couldn't see it for the life of me.
Tried again later and saw it. Cheers.
Question two…how would someone integrate this to do so. My main feed is 80A.
Guessing it would need to be on the main to get import/ export.Are these safe enough for continual 50+ amp draw (or is it a 80A for a few seconds rating)?
Main supply does not go through the meter, it uses clamps around the wires to measure induction. There is a mains connection to power the meter itself though.
@Quarn: Ah cool. Does the wire need to be removed to fit the clamp? Or is it like a clip on clamp multimeter meter?
@tunzafun001: It will clamp around.
@Quarn: Awesome, and can use this as a 'Smart' switch. Ie. If more than -3000 watts (solar), activate a circuit for car/ hotwater?
@tunzafun001: [Catch Solar Relay] (https://www.catchpower.com.au/catch-solar-relay) is what you need for this. Not cheap, but if you're looking for a better way to manage solar power for hot water/car charging, these are awesome. I spend way too much time with the catch app (called Monocle) watching how it manages my solar.
@dasher: Yeah, I'm looking for an 'Ozbargain' catch relay. Wont be powering resistive loads, so a simple on/off is fine (don't need the smarts that only gives out 300w to a 2100w element etc).
Looking for something that does that too
I was just in the midst of typing a message saying how it will burn down your house at 80A, but I was wrongly assuming it was doing whole-current measurements. With a CT, this isn't a problem and given that the current flowing through this device is very low, the risk is probably pretty low as well.
Hi Rep (or does anyone else know….)
does the zigbee version of this work "out the box" with basically any hub, or does it do a cut down "pretend" zigbee where it needs a specific hub?
thanks
Does anyone know of a Zigbee device that works with an AusNet smart meter?
