First ESPHOME Project: ESP32-2432S028R Smart Energy Meter

Smart Energy Meter with ESP32 CYD V2 Board

Welcome to my project on creating a Smart Energy Meter using the ESP32 CYD V2 board AKA ESP32-2432S028R. This project is designed to leverage the flexibility of ESPHome to build an energy monitoring solution that is cost-effective, reliable, and easy to integrate into smart home systems.

Overview

The goal of this project is to create a DIY smart energy meter that can:

  • Monitor power usage in real-time.
  • Provide integration with home automation platforms like Home Assistant.
  • Be accessible and modifiable to suit various use cases and environments.

This project is open-source, and I encourage everyone to contribute, suggest improvements, or even fork it for your own specific needs. You can find all the project details, including the firmware and setup instructions, on my GitHub repository:

Hardware Details

I am using the ESP32 CYD V2 Board, a versatile and affordable microcontroller that supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This board provides the perfect foundation for building IoT devices, especially those requiring real-time data transmission.

You can purchase the ESP32 CYD V2 board from Aliexpress here.

Features of the Project

  • Customizable firmware using ESPHome.
  • Accurate real-time monitoring of energy consumption.
  • Seamless integration with Home Assistant.
  • Fully open-source and community-supported.

Get Involved

This project is a work in progress, and I’m excited to hear feedback, suggestions, and contributions from the community. If you’re interested in collaborating or have ideas to make this even better, feel free to open issues, pull requests, or join the discussion on GitHub.

Two suggestions…

you should probably make it more clear that this project is for monitoring Solar power and not a generic AC mains power monitor.

also in the github repo this statement under the hardware section is fairly vague and non-specific:

Sensors for production, consumption and battery.
