It’s on HACS — or you can install it manually if you don’t use HACS.

I check the amount of light devices are unavailable (esphome, tuya and most being tasmota), if the amount is greater than the amount of tasmota + 1 the energy is gone
Thank you it worked great…
Hey all, just in case someone is looking for another clever way of doing this. I’ve used a ct-coil connected to my Pi that reads my incoming AC. I added this first to determine my usage more accurately and now it’s the perfect way to determine that Eskom/Grid is off due to nothing coming in on the sensor.
Could also use the shelly device.
Rather not. They don’t have a spec model that can handle the amps. They go up to 16A, which you can easily exceed. I have a 100A digital meter in my DB (both used fo detecting whether there is a feed and the consumption). Check your grid feed (mine is 60A). I’ve never exceeded 20A, but still, you need to adhere to the specs for safety reasons.
EDIT: Unless you meant a Shelly PM with a separate clamp. That can work, because the clamp can handle up to 120A. I was referring to the inline ones before.
Hey, yeah meant the Shelly with the clamp. It’ become a bit of a moot point for me as have the Sunsynk ct-coil installed now too.
I have tried the 5V replay approach and it worked like a charm, now i have replaced the 5V relay with a ACS712-5A current hall effect sensor by powering the circuit with a 5V DC 1A Samsung old Phone Micro USB charger. This Sensor connected to a ESP32-WROOM board with ESPHome.
Now i would like to remove the ESP32 and put it to a better use. is there any way i could use a FS1000a RF transmitter and Receiver and send a signal to my RPI about the power status ?
Please advice
