I WOULD LIKE TO MONITOR TWO ELECTRIC METERS IN THE uk

Configuration Frontend

I have 2 electricity meters for my heating system and would like to use HA to monitor the electric pulsed they generate. I live in the UK and when I use an ESP32 to count the electric pulses I get lots of numbers whic dont seem to match the meter readings. I would appreciate any help you can provide as I have spent a lot of frustrated time on this project

Hi McKenzie,

Could do with a bit more info really.

How are you currently logging the pulses from the meters?

Cheers,

Mike

Sorry for the delay in responding. I am using a 1kohm resistor across the the two output pins of the meter and connecting one pin to the esp32 earth and the other to a data pin. My program uses interrupts to monitor the pins.

Can you post details of the two meters, please??

If the meters are already outputting a pulse it should be straightforward enough to get an ESP32 to monitor the consumption.

Cheers,

Mike.
