I have no idea what that is!

I personally use an IoTaWatt system, fantastic bit of kit.

Thanks. A$9.35 + A$5.30 shipping makes them close to $15 which seems too high considering just about every other ESP8266 module is just a few dollarsā€¦ I guess buying more than one brings the shipping per unit downā€¦

I think David responded to the wrong post :slight_smile:

This is very confusing. Is this the one I want (120A)? It says its only rated for 110-120v, where I need 240v. Right?

Ignore the preview, it is a link to a 120A clamp version.

I havenā€™t looked into these prior to today but at a quick look they seem to be rated to 240V. My concern is that all websites seem to import from the USA and will almost certainly not be Aus Certified (the title of this thread). Not many sellers in Aus, likely because no one has had that model certified yet.

Found it cheaper too.

Yeah, thats what I was trying for find out. If they were suitable for installation here or not.

3135

Thatā€™s a good point. It is not certified for use in Australia. Even the UL listed version.

3136

So the shelly is out then?

3137

Agreed - was surprised I couldnā€™t find an aus supplier - so many times Iā€™ve considered buying bulk and just reselling, but the time it would take me to ship them wouldnā€™t be worth the money.

Hi all,

Can anyone with an Arlec Grid Connect Fan (DCF4002WHA) tell me how to put the fan in pairing mode? Iā€™ve lost my LocalTuya setup and need to reinstall/re-pair everything.

TIA

Just a thought. Could I use the CT clamps that are already in place on my breaker board with either the shelly (if I can find an Oz rated one) for the IoTaWatt system?

3140

Most likely not with the Shelly EM. They are calibrated for use with their own 120A or 50A CTs.

3141

Why do you already have CTā€™s in your board? Open circuit CTā€™s are extremely dangerous as the voltage across them (without a burden) can be VERY high.

Why not use an esp? CT Clamp Current Sensor ā€” ESPHome

The CT is connected to an existing power monitoring system that has been there for quite some time. Years I think. It still works via a system called energomonitor.
