Smart Meter Energy Monitor WiFi Electricity Usage Monitor 80A Compatible with Tuya Smart Life

I wanted this to monitor accurate historical energy data and actual live data for our new heat pump. The device comes with a CT clamp but no other wiring. So I brought a small in-line fuse carrier and some 1A fuses from Amazon and connected it into a spare way in a connector block on my side of the meter in my meter block (see picture). I’m an electrical engineer, so am comfortable doing this but wouldn’t recommend it’s done by anyone without electrical experience. It should be a very quick job for an electrician though. The CT clamp has a diameter of 10mm so it may not fit some meter tails, but worked fine on the tails going to our heat pump. Set up is super easy on the Tuya Smart app and readout is good. Just be sure to turn off the 5GHz on your router while you pair, or it won’t be found. You can turn it back on straight afterwards. All in all I did everything within half an hour and am very happy with the results

Seems to work OK with the Tuya App, but is DEFINITELY NOT compatible with Home Assistant - despite looking identical to other units that are.

Easy to install. Just a word of warning you can’t put it over a multi core cable has to be singles (just the live going through the clamp)

CT clamp is 2mm too small standard 25mm tails - you might force the housing shut, BUT the internal iron ring won't; under read, of current > 30%! I had to file down the plastic ring, so it would audibly click shut; the internal iron ring mating. Once you have sorted that, it is accurate. Note this accuracy includes actual reading of rms voltage, AND power factor. At this point in time "Graveyard Ed" has not decided to charge us for reactive power, caused by PF phase shift; so you bill will reflect this. Dave.

I used this on my hotub to monitor the amount of electricity it was using. As Im already using the smart life app it was extremely easy to set up and get working. Overall the Design and quality is acceptable for the price and the main thing is that it works and has been recording the usage for 4 months now

Easy to connect to network etc however looking at the readout things don’t add up. Incorrect power / current readings See image, the voltage reading is correct, the other 2 readings should be directly proportional (P= V * I) Does track usage and shows little bar graphs, but if accuracy is important I’d use another device. Unable to return to seller.

Replaced my Efergy engage which had been a pain and seems to have been discontinued. Works just great and good value.

Installation was pretty simple. You will need a 2 core flex and a plug. Along with precision screwdriver to wire it up. The instructions are quite dire and in Chinglish. But it’s relative straight forward and if you can wore a plug you can wire this. I would recommend putting a piece of insulation tape over the screw holes where the L and N enter just to make it a bit safer although the screws are quite recessed. Once physically installed you will need to download the Tuya app. I already use this for my smart plugs so that wasn’t sure h a big deal. Then you simply press the button on the front and hold for 5 seconds until the blue light is flashing. Then go to discover it via the Tuya app. When it discovers looks like a universal adapter with a Chinese description. So rename it when you can. Then you are pretty much ready to go. I wanted this to monitor power consumption in the house so it’s clamped to the live wire feed into the consumer unit. It seems to measure consumption quite accurately however the app has some serious downfalls hence only 3 stars. You cannot add a unit price to electricity so you can see how much you are spending in real time. This is such a shame. You cannot set alerts for going above a certain kWH usage. This is a shame as I don’t want to be looking at the app all day, just want to be alerted to spikes. There is no granularity of time measurement - eg. By hour or minute. Just by day/week/month. Again this is such a shame. Overall the device works, although setting up is all a bit heat-Robinson but the app really sucks and ruins the whole experience.

Funziona perfettamente

krijg niet het juiste vermogen door. Zit met een grote afwijking.

Facile à installer avec le clamp sur un fil. Il n'y a pas de sens de montage du clamp. J'ai contrôlé la mesure à la pince ampèremétrique et obtenu une valeur similaire. Affiche en temps réel la tension, le courant et la puissance. Cependant si pas de consommation dans le câble rien ne s'affiche, même pas la tension.
