Needed a power monitor that can
- Monitor three phase power
- Monitor both directions, to measure sold solar energy
- Be easily integrable to open source home systems without needing to use propietary clouds
PC321-Z from OWON (sold also on other brands, don't know exactly which types tick these boxes).
Ordered two units directly from OWON. Unit price about doubled from ~50 € due to shipping and taxes but still not easy to beat the price.
Wired first to a simple AC cable, pressed the button for ~5 seconds and set Tasmota to discover Zigbee devices, was found and started to send MQTT messages with electricity stats. By default the data looks somewhat like this:
ZbZCLRawReceived: {"0xD149":{
"0702/4002":"0x00000000F192",
"0702/2002":197,
"0702/3002":2400,
"0702/3102":1224,
"0702/4102":"0x00000000829F",
"0702/2102":218,
"0702/4106":67,
"Endpoint":1,
"LinkQuality":14}}
Got the API specs from OWON against NDA but is also available in the internet.
