Hi. How do I know if my Appliance is on or off considering mine is connected to my geyser..? Also considering the WiFi is out of data. What happens when I press the reset button? Does the sonoff switch off? How will I know as the lights on the device do not seem to give an indication
The answer likely to be yes but it also depends on what load you are connecting. In reality your house is unlikely to draw anything close to 25A at the same time
My device is paired but wont connect to the internet. Every thing in my house is connected to the internet but this wont. This is first start up. I cant find any info on the issues.
What do you mean by paired? Paired would indicate that the device is is present in the cloud and you have a control over it from the app - therefore it is connected to the internet. Could you explain this a bit better?
Inductive current limit would be significantly lower than 25A depending on voltage. In this case you could drive much higher inductive loads than on standard sonoffs. Usually safe inductive load on 10A sonoffs is about 1-2A. While I have no information about certification for it we can safely assume that it would be around 5A (relays are rated for 30A inside)
can I use this smart switch with air-conditioning? Also, in the event of a sudden power outage and its return quickly, does the switch restart the air conditioner or protect it?
Hi. I have a POWR3 running, Tazmota 12.3.1. I can get the Relay working fine. But I cannot calibrate the power and current measurements. Have you got these working? Thanks
Technically I can use it for whole house right. My average load is 500W, occasionally 2000W and rarely 4000W. It includes 1500W geyser, 1200W motor for watering. Rest all lights, Fan, TV etc. The dedicated device is costly. @NotEnoughTECH
Hello, I am looking for information about POWR3, I need to know if the relay can be automatically energized after turning off the equipment.

Without connection you won't have controls or feedback from the device.
Flash, flash, flash!

The main fuse on my grid is 25, can i use this to monitor all my house (1phase)
Thanks.

@@notenoughtech its paired but offline. Won't connect to the internet
25A single phase? What’s the use-case for this thing?

Waterheater for those of us in countries with single phase supplies to our houses but no mains gas….
You could definitely run a whole heating system on that without worrying about sonoff being the weakest link (at least when it comes to current limit)
Startup current/inrush is often much higher than steady-state: this can avoid frying your control device for those types of loads.
@@RossReedstrom how does this device act as a start capacitor limiting inrush current?
Pow r3 vs elite version, which one better?
Can I use this on my water heater? It isn't supposed to require more than 20A (the relay connected to it is a 20A one).
As long as your heating doesn't draw more current than specified for this Sonoff - you can
What is the max sec in inching mode?
Honestly don't remember but I think it was 59min
can I use this smart switch with air-conditioning?
Also, in the event of a sudden power outage and its return quickly, does the switch restart the air conditioner or protect it?
It has software implement protection is not as fast as hardware one but your appliance should be fine should this happen
I wonder if i can hook up three of these for each of my three phases coming into my house. Great video!
I'll be posting maybe tonight about SPM which would be more suitable for your application

Someone's mentioned similar issue. Re applying tasmota config fixed it
Great video! which cable do you suggest to connect this just after the main switch of a 3kW system (25A)? 10 cm of 4mm cables? better 6mm?
Thicker cable will run cooler. If the cost isn't an issue and fits well into the terminal then go with a thicker
Thanks 😊
My pleasure
Diff works?
I'm sorry?
can I use it as a whole house energy monitor
Sonoff will have dedicated equipment coming up for that. This unit alone isnt good enough for the whole house
@@notenoughtech what about just a room?
Up to you as long as you stick to the current rating

Can you set it to send 2000W to a 3000W geyser ?
It won't regulate the current. It can only cut off the power of current exceeds the set amount
The kWh rate, OPS and inching settings always been available In the App for the pow2 :)
You are right! Just looked up the POWR2 article and somehow I missed that. I think I'm getting old now
Too bad this isn't 30 Amp so we could use them on our water heaters.
Technically relays are 30A but best stick to the advisory limit
Hack it!
Actually already did. Will publish soon at the moment the video is exclusively available to patreon supporters :)
DIY :(
But you can flash it ;) guide is already up
