It is showing some values but it is a bit jumpy:
I have done the same mod (wemos mini wired directly) and it is jumpy as well just like your gif. Did you get to the bottom of this?

For the 3rd powermeter I made a pcb for the wemos and power supply, it just fitted in height.

How did you wire the 3rd power meter?

Thanks you so much!

I just recieved a power meter with an unknown chip. It's labeled with "BL6523GX". Does anybody knows if it's compatible or how can be hacked?

Thanks you!

Just a remark, I made the same 'mistake' viewtopic.php?f=38&t=7325&start=40#p149833 and added some opto-couplers between the powermeter board and the ESP for safety because I used ESP07 and external antenna's.

So it's better add the opto-couplers?

Only if you have external connections (like a WiFi antenna)

I can't make it work with a ESP-01...

Anybody has tried with this ESP?

ESP-01 has not enough memory i think. You probably get compiler/link errors?

No, I can compile and the code gets uploaded but I always obtain a 0 value in the voltage measure.
