Assemble the components per the diagram above.
Arduino energy monitor ethernet.
Ethernet mac address must be unique on your network mac reads t4a001 in hex unique in your network byte mac 0x54 0x34 0x41 0x30 0x30 0x31.
Upload the arduino sketch.
They are made up of the stand alone sketches from each section above.
And here s a short description of how to build an enclosure.
Here are the complete arduino sketches for the main and ethernet units.
Arduino home energy monitor.
For the rest we use dhcp ip address and such.
Below is a screenshot of the web based graphing that can be seen live here.
Now you can upload your sketch onto your arduino if you haven t uploaded a sketch before then follow this guide on getting started.
The energy monitor can calculate real power apparent power power factor rms voltage rms current.
It is inspired to open energy monitor of which uses a slightly modified version of emontx v2.
The energy monitor shield is primarily designed to be used for building energy monitoring systems like a customised multimeter but can be integrated into existing systems for enhanced functionality or circuit security.
The arduino converts the raw data from its analog input into human readable values then sends them to the serial port monitor.
1x 9v ac ac power adapter 1x 100kohm resistor for step down voltage divider.
The resulting energy monitoring shield has a.
Step one gather components.
The project consists of two parts a server and a client both made with an arduino and a couple of ethernet shields.
Because your setup ct resistors and input voltage may be different there is a scaling factor in the sketch which you will need to change before you will get.
The sketch is the software that runs on the arduino.
It is not only capable of monitoring energy usage but can also interact with compatible arduino boards and shields allowing.
Main unit assembly installed energy monitor measurement board assembly.
From this idea the energy alerter was born.
The ethernet unit is connected to the router the small box on top of the larger box houses the wireless xbee link.
