How do I connect my energy meter to my Arduino?
Simply solder the three leads from your current sensor onto the pin headers on the shield and use A1 as your sensor input as shown in the attached image. Once you have connected all of your components, you need to connect your sensor onto what you want to monitor.
Can Arduino read smart meter?
Since Arduino Nano Every hardware can only handle one single serial data stream, SoftwareSerial library is used in the code to read the separate serial data stream of each of the 2 smart meters. So just add approrpiate magnets to attach your sensor head to the smart meter.
How can I make a power meter at home?
DIY POWER METER INSTRUCTIONS
- Drill a small hole in the spindle.
- Glue strain gauges onto the spindle.
- Wire up the strain gauges and feed wires through the small hole.
- Connect the electronic module (SG53) and battery.
- Do preliminary calibration and adjust gain setting resistor if needed.
How does optocoupler connect to energy meter?
Now user needs to connect anode terminal of LED at pin number 1 of Optocoupler and cathode terminal to pin 2. Pin number four of optocouper should be directly connected to ground. A LED and a Pull-up resistor are connected at pin number 5 of optocoupler. And same terminal should go to the Arduino pin 8 too.
How does an Arduino smart metering system work?
An Arduino based smart metering system comprising of a smart energy meter and a mobile phone acting as a central server receiving all the data sent by the energy meter. Other features of smart energy meter using Arduino are: Meter measures, record and integrate the energy consumption of the load connected
Which is the best app to use for Arduino?
The best option I found is using the Blynk App. Blynk is an app that allows full control over Arduino, ESP8266, Rasberry, Intel Edison and much more hardware. It is compatible with both Android and iPhone. In Blynk everything runs on ⚡️Energy.
What kind of power supply does Arduino use?
1. To the load through the current sensor (ACS712) 2. 230V AC/5V DC Power Supply module The 5V power supply module provides power to the microcontroller (Arduino/Wemos), the Current sensor (ACS712) and OLED display.
Is there an open source smart energy monitor?
