@geoffers I'm way more frugal. Love freebies when it comes to things like this.
I'm sure you could make a monitor with a smidge of Python or C++ and Pi Zero W or even the Pico W RP2040. A project for winter hibernation 😂. All assuming I've nothing better to do.
I tend to relate prices of everything these days to the cost of a pint, so that's around 3 ½ x🍺 around here 😀
Almost six pints here!
That said, that's about a months worth of 🍺 for me these days 🤣
Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
..... <edit> Just ordered one - will keep you posted 🤣
As promised - here it is : couldn't have been more simple to set up
Wire it up to a 2-pin plug
Wire up the clamp-on sensor, and clamp round the meter +ve
If you don't have it - download the SmartLife app (which I already have for other smart-plugs etc)
Press the reset button and it is automatically registered on the SmartLife app
Lo and behold, it gives the same power reading as the IHD...
It also displays bar-graphs of hourly usage per day, daily usage per month and monthly usage per year
So for anyone missing an IHD (or with IHD comms issues), this is a useable workround.
That is really really impressive. My thumbs up doesn’t do it justice.
I’m not clear exactly what the whole set up is, perhaps you can explain it fully.
