Product information "SmartPi 3.0 Board"
SmartPi 3.0 board - turn your Raspberry Pi into a smart meter
The SmartPi expansion module adds voltage measurement and contactless current measurement to the Raspberry Pi (3 B, 3 B+, 4), turning it into a full smart meter that monitors and records electricity consumption and generation and makes the data available on the network or the internet.
Current is measured contactlessly via current clamps for currents up to 100 A or 400 A in the standard version.
By simply moving a jumper, any cable-conversion transformer with a secondary current of 1 A can be connected, so currents of 100 A and more can be measured.
The SmartPi 3.0 has 3 current inputs (L1, L2, L3) and three voltage inputs. The voltage input can also power the SmartPi 3.0 and the Raspberry Pi, so no external power supply is needed.
With the voltage measurement connected, the direction of energy flow can be determined and the SmartPi becomes a full bidirectional smart meter.

SmartPi 3.0 - Turn your Raspberry Pi into a smart meterThe Smart Pi expansion module extends the Raspberry Pi with interfaces to measure voltage and current in a contactless manner. It enables to control electricity production consumption and turns the Raspberry Pi into a full featured smart meter. All measurement data can be stored and are accessable via the local network or Internet for disposal.Current is measured contactless via inductive current sensors. In the standard version currents up to 100 A can be measured. A simple changeover of the jumper enables the connection of any cable re-converter with a secondary current of 1A. This allows currents of up to 1000A and more to be detected.The SmartPi 3.0 has 3 inputs for current measurement (L1, L2, L3) and three inputs for voltage measurement. This allows measurements on all three phases and even the neutral conductor. The SmartPi 3.0 and the Raspberry Pi can be powered by the voltage input. An external power supply is not required.If the voltage measurement is connected, the direction of the energy flow can be determined and the SmartPi is a full-fledged bi-directional smart meter..
