Energy monitor shield

[maciejka]

Hi Everyone!

It is possible to implement energy monitor shield for Arduino to mysensors?
Maybe somebody already tried this or has some experience.
I want to add this kind of sensor (CT for 3 lines) to domoticz.
I found 2 kind of solution:

and

Please write yours comments.
Thanks

I'm not sure, but I think that it isn't possible without a lot of code refactoring. They use the same radio as MySensors, but it might be difficult to use one radio for both MySensors and the communication between the different E-mon nodes.

It might be easier to build a couple of MySensors nodes for harvesting energy usage to your Domotica controller.

But it's just my first impression I've never used those boards. Other people on this forum might know if it's possible or not.

This shield should work just fine. Just make sure to set the correct CE/CS (which differs a bit from our "standard") when initialising the MySensors library.

Thank You for your suggestion. I will try with Energy Monitor Shield from Seeedstudio and connect it to MySensors gateway.
