OWL and RFXtrx433XL USB HA alternative
Posted: Monday 04 January 2021 16:23
I have a need to monitor three power consumption values within a single consumer unit.
I've used Owl devices in the past and my first thought was to use these but I don't have an RFXtrx433XL USB HA and they appear to be unavailable everywhere.
Ideally I'd like a solution that uses clamp sensors that split to allow them to attached without breaking the seals on anything.
My plan is to have a Pi running Domoticz located by or somewhere close to the consumer unit to act as a data source for my primary Domoticz server which is virtualised and has no physical ports.
I've spotted the pzem-004t option but this appears to be a closed ring and would need a PSU and enclosure, i.e. finishing off.
If people could let me know what they have used and if they think it's still available I'd be very grateful.
Kind regards
Charles
