Low cost energy monitors

I had an Aeotec Z-Wave Energy Meter on the main lines in my panel, but it died earlier this year. Does anyone have recommendations for a replacement? Doesn’t have to be Z-Wave and I’d like to be able to expand and monitor more circuits than just the mains.

I just recently saw a video by “the Hookup” that showed a cheap Shelly EM energy monitor.

I’m sure a quick Google search should bring it up.

From my experiences:

The easiest to use with HA: HS110 tp link - WIFI

Pro

  • Easy to set up
  • Easy to integrate into HA
  • Has all the CE Labels and a general high Quality

Con

  • Expensive
  • Bulky

The smallest: Blitzwolf SHP6 - WIFI

Pro

  • Cheap
  • Very small

Con

  • Needs dismantling and soldering for flashing
  • Flashed firmware needs extra configuration (Tasmota/ESPHome)

The zigbee choice: Xiaomi Smart Plug - Zigbee

Pro

  • Cheap
  • Easy to integrate into HA via deconz or standard xiaomi

Con

  • Needs an extra Adapter for non China Sockets
  • Needs a zigbee Gateway

Others

Tekin / Gosund Sp1 - WIFI
Sonoff PoW - WIFI

I’m interested in monitoring entire circuits in my house, not individual outlets. I do have a few smart plugs with energy monitoring already

Sorry, misread that! I live in a rented place so I cannot measure all consumption :frowning_face:
