Home Assistant!

[Stinsy]

A little more progress:



Kitchen Heater and Bedroom Heater have long been on smartplugs that monitor consumption, but I've never been able to make much use of the information. The only other smartplug I have that can monitor power is currently on the xmas tree, which isn't that useful because the lights are only 6W, so I might swap that one onto the boiling water tap. I'll put a shelly PM on the living room heater.

It'd be good to measure power going into the EV but the Shelly that can do this is £50 (the £10 ones can only do 16A).

What charger do you have? A few have home assistant integrations available so you might be able to get the info without a separate meter.

I wanted real-time data at a 2s resolution so ended up putting my own modbus meter in, but the Zappi provides data every minute for example.

I have a decade-old Rolec that I have modified to be "smart" via a Shelly interrupting the CP.

I've been eyeing up a Zappi for years...

Its addictive! Just keep on adding!

You can click the untracked consumption circle to toggle that on/off - any sensor really

Great setup you have there!

What do you use as sensors?

It seems that more than 50% of your consumption is still "untracked", what is using all the power?

[MrPablo]

I use the Powercalc component to create groups for monitoring much of my consumption.


Not much in the untracked anymore, but I am slowly tackling that by adding more power monitoring plugs (Athom UK C3 plug).

One last energy 'hole' I intend to tackle is the conversion losses in the inverter itself when charging and discharging.
This will fall into the untracked category in my case.

Have you calculated the power used by the power trackers?

Thanks. EV charging and cooking will remain untracked for me.

Next steps are: living room heater, washer, dishwasher, tumbler, and the SH in the shed.
