I like your video, it's very clear, starting from the pictures of the circuit of each tool, device design, and program. I like it. Always healthy, good people❤
The CT clamped on wrong wire in your video, It should be on the wire in series with 'Lamp LOAD', but in video it is wrongly shown on voltage sensor input wire which is parallel to lamp. There fore you can not get the correct readings.
Good video, i need to understand something, the GPIO pin of the esp32 is 0 to 3.3v logic level and the voltage transformer is 0 to 5v, so the question is how do you manage the this voltage level incompatibility in the esp32 ADC ?
The two 100k resistors make a voltage divide by 2, so with Vcc at 5V, the mid point of the resistors is 2.5V. The 2.5V is fed to the ADC input via the 100R resistor. The current clamp is across the 100R resistor and when the clamp measures a current it generates a voltage across the 100R resitor, adding (or subtracting depending on the ac cycle) to the 2.5V. So the 2.5V could vary between 1.5V and 3.5V with 100A flowing through the clamp. The 10uF is probably for noise supression. That is my thinking anyway. Let me know if I have misunderstood.
no pin other than ADC (ADC0) can be used to measure analog voltage, as the CT & Voltage transformer has Voltage output(i.e. Analog). As we all know there is only one pin there on NodeMCU ESP8266 to measure analog signals, which is not at all used in the above schematic.
Thanks for the appreciation. The current sensor and voltage sensor is only for single phase. For three phase we need to use some other voltage current sensor.
Very nice project, I am also trying to make this as my college project, but I am facing the issue that , i want to measure multiple bulbs power with the help of only one sensor what you are using because I have some financial issue, so my question is that,Is it possible to measure power of all bulbs with only one sensor ? Pls help my project has stopped.
First of all Its very nice project and explain every thing in video and website... but i have a question, what was the % accuracy you got in voltage range (200 - 250)V please reply..
Mam its my humble resquest to share to connection line diagram because i don't understand some connection of this project and also i don' t have any current sensor which you have, i have open connection sensor ... So please connection diagram with all of the component used in diagram .... Please reply mam
@@HowtoElectronics Thanks a lot...Also, is it possible to connect the bare end of cut wire of SCT and that male header pin of ESP32 with a F-F jumper cable directly?
You provide valuable information. You explain all the things in a clear manner. However, now that Blynk 2.0 software is available, can you please explain the same code for Blynk 2.0.....?
Major Mistake, the current sensor must messure the current in the load cable, not in the cable from the voltage sensor XD Good Video and good documentation. with what software has you make the images with shematics ?
Good point dear. I was just searching the comments to see if anyone saw that the current sensor was not properly wired. Thank you. Afterall, very good video, very informative. Thank you @How To Electronics
In the video, we can see the USB cable connected to the ESP32 chip. Is this to provide the DC supply for the chip? Could we use the output of ZMPT101B with a basic AC-DC rectifier circuit to power up the ESP32 chip? Or this would affect the measured power quality? Thanks.
Can you please help me by making this only with current sensor, voltage 240v as standard voltage. By using current sensor alone is it possible to do the project
it seems like the esp32 wifi range is only up to 200m. Would it be possible to extende the range to cover much greater distances? For instance, would it be possible to use networks that can transfer meter data across an entire country using WiFi, LAN or Mobile Data?
Haha. I just spent a day trying to find a sufficiently accurate solution. You need to measure mV across a fixed resistance shunt, and an op-amp to boost the mV (which may be negative or positive depending on the direction of current flow) to a signal between 0 - 3.3v that the ESP or Arduino can measure on an analogue input pin. That said my non-invasive meter has a DC voltage measurement, but I don't want to spend all day reading and recording the read-out. I think there is a code error which accounts for the zero kWh readings.
Please could you tell me which version of Blynk was used in this project and which other versions of brink this project will be compatible with. Thanks.
use a 200W and a 60W filament bulb in parallel and measure the current using a multimeter. In my test, it showed that this setup draws 1.03A AC, so hence you can calibrate your current clamp accurately by fiddling the current calibration value accrodingly Now to calibrate the voltage, its a simple task of fideling the calibration value till you hit the sweet spot
It happened to me: The line: Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass); you have to modify it like this: Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, "blynk.cloud"); Now they work correctly. I'm posting this in case it happens to someone else.
How can i make it work without the amperemeter. Also, there is a big diference between the new blynk app and the shown on the video, can you help me throught this?
How did you calibrate your sensors? I'm a student and I want to know how did you calibrate it. Hope you answer my question, it'll be a huge help for me.

Very legit question with no answer yet
But not sure if it is considering of power factor because that factor also affects KWh
It's a great project! Do you have any report on this project. I am willing to work on this for future. If you have than do a reply please. Thanks.
hi, i have tried, but the current sensor, not have responsive read the current yet, how can i fixed it?
Oh!! What an excellent project I really love it
Thanks for this. Just a doubt. Will this work with 3 phase supply? If not, what should be added to make it work?
Best ever project seen today by you thanks this is possible for 3 phase supply

Use any 5V DC adapter to power ESp32 board or a usb cable or any Ac to 5V Dc converter. Al of them should work great.
Don't go there! The live AC is connected at one end.

In void loop

Absolutely! That's how the power company does it, surely! 😂
is your system also do the energy savings or just read the energy? and the application only showing the sensor measurement?
