EnergyMe Home, open source energy meter now in 20+ countries

Hi everyone, sharing EnergyMe-Home, the 16 channels open-source energy meter I first posted here a while back. It’s grown a lot since then, over 20 countries now and almost 100 units running.

We also just launched a cloud portal alongside the local dashboard, for anyone who wants remote access and a few extra tools on top.

Everything’s on energyme.net if you want to see photos or get one, and it’s all open source on GitHub if you want to look under the hood.

Happy to answer anything.

Which safety standard(s) is the hardware designed to please? I assume it connects directly to mains power?

It is connected straight to mains (thus the compactness), and it follows all the main safety standards, including full galvanic isolation between low voltage and high voltage (not many meters do this, by the way), as well as creepage and clearances. It has safety components at the mains input (fuse, varistors), and the whole PCB is in a case made for electrical equipment.

It is CE marked, and soon we will get the FCC and other similar certifications.

Any plans for UL/Intertek certification? US and Canada can’t use this without it for insurance reasons.

So, EN61010-1 or something similar? Great if you have conformed to a relevant standard :slightly_smiling_face:.

No UL/ETL yet. US/Canada certification is on the roadmap but no date (it’s expensive for a small team, so demand helps us prioritize). Still, if people want to install it, realistically the product meets already all specifications. Appreciate the feedback though!

EN IEC 62368-1, not 61010-1. That’s for lab/measurement gear; 62368-1 is the right family for consumer IoT. It’s in our CE DoC.

Agreed. 61010-1 is what i use for scientific equipment.

We certify to CSA 22.2, which is slightly tougher to pass with EN61010-1 as a subset. You might find something similar in the space you are working in and that can save a lot of multiple certifications.

CSA 22.2 gets us almost everywhere in the world. South Korea is different, and there are a couple of other outliers.

It is smart that you are designing to meet the regs up-front.
