63a eWelink WIFI smart switch / energy meter

Configuration
1

Hi All,

I recently purchased a smart switch / energy meter - with the main intent of using it to read the energy data.

It integrates using the eWelink smart home Add-on - which displays the power consumption, etc on the add-on screen.

However the add-on only exposes the Switch to Home Assistant - and I can’t seem to get to the power consumption values - to add them to a Home assistant dashboard, etc

Anyone have experience with this unit to achieve that?

Hello

you need to have HACS and install/configure the eWeLink Smart Home plugin

and then you can insert like this

PS: trying to figure how to configure in HA’s energy page

Thanks - I already have the eWelink Smart Home integration installed - but did so via the standard HA integration options. I could not find a ewelink via the HACS integrations?

I only get the switch as an entity - there is no entities for voltage and amperage?

Did you apply a specific config in the configuration,yaml file?

Yes i did

sonoff:
username: yourewelinkemail
password: yourewelinkpassword
reload: always
sensors: [power, current, voltage]

sensor:

  • platform: integration
    source: switch.10009749fe

    sensor:

  • platform: integration
    source: switch.10009749fe
    name: energy_spent
    unit_prefix: k
    round: 2

Awesome! - thanks

I was missing the sonoff config part … I now see the voltage / power and current.

Thanks again!

To get the HA energy integration to work - the sensor has to be configured to read the power value from sensor - not .switch :-

  • platform: integration
    source: sensor.sonoff_100132311d_power
    name: Entertainment Area Energy Consumed
    unit_prefix: k
    round: 2

Hello

for me doesn’t work… it doesn’t show up on HA energy

9

i don’t understand… i have the power consumption on HA, but the device/sensor doesn’t show up in the Energy Grid consumption

can some one help me on this please

thank you

I manage to do it using info from other post -

MQTT Sensor “No matching statistics found” on Energy

sensor:
    platform: integration
    source: sensor.sonoff_10009749fe_power
    name: Energia Casa
    unit_prefix: k
    round: 2
    method: left

utility_meter:
  daily_energy_06:
    source: sensor.sonoff_10009749fe_power
    cycle: daily
  monthly_energy_06:
    source: sensor.sonoff_10009749fe_power
    cycle: monthly
    
template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "Consumo Mensal"
        unit_of_measurement: "Wh"
        state: >
          {{ states("sensor.sonoff_10009749fe_power") }}
        device_class: energy
        state_class: measurement

Hello

I managed to see my wifi Power meter to Home Assistant. I want to see a day graph like yours here about max and min power consuption. How did you set the Homme assistance to see the energy meter. i cant find the way.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I just want to inform you all, that I found easier solution for these power meters via eWelink app.
You just have to:

  1. Install HACS in Home Assistant
  2. Install “Sonoff” integration in HACS, reboot
  3. Add “Sonoff” integration in “Devices” section of Home Assistant
  4. Fill in your eWelink login credentials, when asked
  5. Done!

Now you have all entities in Home Assistant - energy, power, voltage, current

P.S. Maybe it will work only via LAN network (smart meter and HA on the same network), but not sure.

Looks like I cant get my power monitoring switches to show energy monitoring too, not on HA neither in ewelink app. Manufacturer says to hook them up through Tuya, but thats going to meessup my HA as all zigbee devices already hookedup using ewelink

14

Do you have the same power monitoring switches (2P 63A)

15

similar, but mine is with energy monitoring function

16

I’m in the process of purchasing a similar energy meter which connects through the eWelink app. I want to add the power readings into HA for switching on and off various other Sonoff devices, based on load.

Just a question to you guys who already have them installed, what is the update frequency of the meter? Every second? Every 5 seconds?

17

I’ve got three of them installed : -

  • One is the main earth leakage unit for my house (2 Pole)
  • One is an isolator for an out-building on my property (1 pole)
  • One is my pool pump (use scheduling in HA to control pool pump schedule)

All working and reading energy consumption.
From the looks of it - mine updates every 2-3 seconds - which is via eWelink HA integration.

I do however want to re-flash the units with Tasmota to get away from the eWelink dependency.

Let me know how you manage to do that - would prefer to run with Tasmota.

I’m going to go ahead and buy one for now and install.

Thanks @mariovesel

I tried with the ewelink addon but could not see the consumption. The SonoffLan integration works great.
