Measure energy used on house meter, what device to use?

Need Answer

I know there are allot of threads about this but i have trouble finding someone that says this works good and would recommend it.

One problem is that i don't have any P1 port on my meter. And i can not change it due to i live in Sweden and the grid company owns the meters. so measuring device is restricted to clamps or Eye.

My main interest is to momentary W used but of course there is also a interest to see kwh used.

the house have 3 incoming wires with total 60A divided on the wires


Many thanks for any input on a device that will work with zipato for this.


best regards

I'm using a flukso for this: http://www.flukso.net

It's a community driven device which has a reporting module to both the flukso api and a local api you can host.

It is possible to have 3 power inputs on the device which you are mentioning above + 2 additional meters for water / gas consumption.

I'm hosting a php api on my synology which is retrieving the data from the flukso and sending to a virtual meter in zipato.

This is very high level of course and would love to help you out as soon as you have the device.

Great with a review. I must have missed it.


Downside is that the zipabox needs to be close to the meter. And as in most houses I have mine in basement that will kill the 433 range.


Thanks for the post and recommendation.

Acutally found a retailer in sweden that sells it

Maybe you could extend the wires of the clamps. But have not tried it.

Thanks for the posts and the input. I deiced to try out Aeon labs clamps hem3 version 2

For anyone ells reading this thread in the future:


Its so far working good. I had to update the interval for values to be pushed more frequent for my requirements.

Part from that i have so far not had any problems with it.

Will post back here if i find something that is not working.
