Zipato power module - where is the sensor connected?
Answered
Hi, I cannot find too many details on the Zipato power module. How do the inputs connect to the module? Does the use of this module force me to install the entire zipa "train" of modules right next to the mains input or is the sensor a remote connection?

Hi,
You should have received a manual with your PowerModule with installation instructions.
Module connects to Zipabox directly and current clamps connect to PowerModule by cable (IIRC length is 1.6m). So the entire "train" needs to be close to the place where you are measuring current and voltage (usually an electrical / fuse cabinet with exposed live and neutral wires).

Hmm.
So that means that I HAVE to install the Zipabox within 1.6m of my electricity input.
Shame...
Because, if someone wanted to turn off the mains to a house then they would immediately go to the mains input to cut it off - And there they WOULD FIND MY ZIPABOX!
Surely the best place for the zipabox is hidden away somewhere so that the would-be thief has no idea that it is still running when they cut off the mains (with Internet and power being still supplied up by the backup module)
Having the zipabox right next to the mains means they immediately see it is still operational and, I would presume, smash it to pieces with a hammer or something.
Are you working on a remote sensor architecture to the power module?
