Aeotec Home Energy Meter Gen5, Z-Wave Plus Smart Electricity Usage Monitor, Report Real Time Power Consumption, 1 Clamp, Detect up to 60 amps for Single Phase System

Remember this item is a sensor - not an all in one logging / recording / graphing system. You need something else - a hub or a controller for example - to save and display your electricity consumption readings. There is a button on the back of the Energy Meter that you press during initial set-up to connect it with your hub. As a warning to others I got this wrong to start with. It needs the lightest of presses to start the set-up process; just push and immediately release. Until I got the hang of this I was pressing it for too long (and a long press does someting else), so initially I was somewhat frustrated with it. But once I realised what I was doing wrong it was a breeze to set-up and has been logging away happily ever since.

Easy to install but needs to be near power supply, may need extension lead. Think it works OK, not all smart plugs link to it, not sure why, all same brand. More research needed.

This device is ok but not great. Highly over priced for what it can do.If you've got a smart meter, the in home display you get with them gives far more info than this.Links up to the Aeotec smartthings hub fine but doesn't give you much details. You get current data & that's it. No historical data for the past week, day, month etc just what you're using now & what you've used overall since day one unless you tell it to reset every day or monthApparently you can link it into other software for these features like monthly breakdowns of watts & costs etc but there's no literature explaining how or where to get this software from, even on Aeotec's own site.You would think with the device being Aeotec & linking up to an Aeotec hub you would get full use but obviously not.Compared to the emporia one which shows all the historical data you need without any additional software or drivers.Overall expensive & basic

Was very easy to setup and install into the main electrical box. If you dont know what you're doing get a professional in! Only hiccup i had was i put the clamp the wrong way round as i didn't read the manual so got negative values, after flipping that over the values were correct. Very happy with this. Only issue i cant figure out is why im not getting a amps reading, Mine just stays at -7.03A im sure i will figure it out eventually.

When you buy an item you expect it to work you shouldn’t have to buy another item that it has to pair up with as a home hub so the one item that you buy works should be made quite clear and like on the company that I bought from should clearly state when this is bought. Often this product is bought with it, they are naturally assuming that you have got all the products of their manufacture already saw you come past yours with products that you already own. This should be a standalone item that works and it isn’t.

Item was bigger than expected, but my consumer unit was big enough that I was able to squeeze it in.The clamp wasnt able to go over the incoming power cable whilst the cable still had its grey outer sheath on. I stripped back the grey a bit further and then the clamp was able to clamp around the Brown live cable.Connected to smartthings and have it reporting current energy usage at 30 second intervals.

So - can I fit it myself - no because the big wires are too big, I need to attach it to the smaller big wire's in the consumer unit. £50 for an electrician.Does it work after that? No, because you need to buy a dongle.Does it work after that?No because you need some software. You can find the software at the aeotec website.You need help, the aeotec website has a chat help. Does that work? No. There is a 404 error.You find a 'if your a beginner use this' software.It's baffling. I'm OK with this sort of thing, I build websites with no difficulty, but this is baffling.Is there help? There's a wiki. But it's no help.So I am £200 in and have literally no idea.And I'm outside the return window.There's no help, no beginners guide. Nothing.And, I have never had to turn my computer on and off so many times ever.

Six months later and still working very well.Using it to track my daily power usage with IFTTT and Webcore.Does what it says on the tin.Connected to SmartThings no issue.Pricey but all smart stuff seems to be at a premium.

Funktioniert wunderbar mit Home Assistant und Zwave USB Stick.Für Laien unbrauchbar , man sollte schon wissen was man tut wenn man das Teil wo einbauen will.

Después de estar trabajando con el mas de dos meses, no me queda otra cosa que decir que es un buen producto, aunque tuve algunas dificultades al comienzo, una vez puse el sensor en la dirección adecuada, todo empezó a ir bien. Mi gateway zwave es un homeseer; detectado y funcionando.

funziona perfettamente con openhab e gateway z-stick aeotech. fornisce il consumo istantaneo in watts e il consumo totale in kWh, resettabile. è possibile leggere valore di voltaggio e amperaggio istantaneo. il report dei valori è automatico e regolabile in base a soglia in watt e percentuale, sotto le quali non riporta cambi minori per non impegnare continuamente la rete. il report è inoltre impostabile per intervalli temporali.unica nota negativa è abbastanza ingombrante e fatica a stare in un normale quadro elettrico residenziale. ho dovuto installarlo nella cassetta di derivazione principale, portando il clamp fino al quadro. è possibile comunque installarlo anche a muro nei pressi del quadro e fare una piccola traccia fino allo stesso.la lettura è estremamente precisa, confrontato con misuratore di consumo e carichi prioritari bticino già installato a DIN.

J'avais initialement besoin de mesurer la consommation de ma pompe a chaleur, pour avoir une idée de la conso (bien entendu) mais aussi pour déceler les courts-cycles et affiner mes réglages.Je fais cela via de la domotique avec Jeedom.J'avais à l'origine un petit tableau électrique pour la pac avec son propre compteur, mais je ne pouvais pas le superviser et historiser.Ce compteur de conso zwave est juste une merveille pour cet usage. Il est équipé d'un seul transformateur d'intensité dans lequel je fais passer la phase de l'unité intérieure, ainsi que celle de l'unité extérieure.L'association avec Jeedom se fait tout simplement: on le passe en mode inclusion, puis on appuie sur le bouton du Zw095, et c'est associé. La portée est juste énorme, on traverse des dalles et murs porteur sans pertes de connexions.La précision est nickel, on remonte la tension, l'intensité, la puissance et la consommation.J'ai juste modifié certains paramètres par défaut pour une remontée des infos toutes les 5 secondes, grâce aux nombreux tutoriels sur youtube.Bref, je recommande chaudement ce produit pour cet usage.ATTENTION: il s'agit du modèle monophasé, donc qui ne peut mesurer qu'une seule phase. Si votre installation est en triphasée, il faudra vous orienter vers le modèle avec les 3 transformateurs d'intensités. Egalement, le modèle avec les 3 TI pour le triphasé ne peut pas être utilisé pour mesurer 3 phases complètement indépendants (genre chauffage, eau chaudes et un autre truc), si tel est votre besoin, il vous faudra autant de Zw095 que de phases a mesurer.

Beware - do not buy if you are from Australia and comply with Aussie Z-wave frequency standards. At the time of writing, Aeotec do not offer any HEM units that are compatible with Aussie standards.Highly recommend you check the device you purchase is compatible with the frequencies used in your setup. Documentation and device description does not make this clear.
