I have a aeon energy monitor I think Gin 1 or Gen 2 home energy monitor. I would like to monitor my solar panels with it. I have a 12 volt system if I'm not using their right equipment let me know.
For testing purposes I have them hooked up to the negative and positive of the battery positive is in port 1 negative is import 2. I'm using the built-in habitat driver. I think I should be seeing some wattage and less 12 volts is not enough and it's really meant for 110 v.
Just let me know what I'm doing wrong or if you guys can help me?
I have a HEM as well and use it to monitor house power.
I also have a spare HEM, and have been dabbling in solar, so, looking around as well.
I can see it on the solar generator's app as provided by the generator's MPPT, but not in Hubitat.
I think Current Transformers, CT's, work on DC. I have a vague recollection of doing that.
If the HEM is plugged into 120VAC, I'd think watts measurement would be screwed up. Maybe amps would work. You still wouldn't know volts though, which you'd need to calculate Watts.
There are mini power meters, with little lcd displays, that could be connected in line with the MC4 connections on the incoming solar wires, but the searches I've done failed to turn up a zigbee or zwave enabled device.
