Smart Energy Monitor

CT clamp power meter, 230V, WiFi + MQTT

About this design

A non-invasive residential power meter using a CT (current transformer) clamp on the live conductor, with WiFi+MQTT upstream and a small e-ink display. Reports per-circuit power, energy, and cost in near real time.

Typical applications

Home energy management, demand-response programmes, electric vehicle charging optimisation, time-of-use tariff alerting, landlord sub-metering.

Compliance scope

IEC 62052-11 metering, RED, EN 55032, IEC 62368-1 for the mains-side power supply, plus dielectric-strength testing for the CT isolation barrier.
