So you can monitor the parameters as well as calibrate and modify different settings from your Smartphone via OTA. The inbuilt WiFi chip of the Wemos is connected to the Home Router and linked to the Blynk App. The calculated power and energy by the Arduino/Wemos is displayed on a 0.96" OLED display module. Once the analog input is given to Arduino, the measurement of power/energy is done by Arduino sketch. The AC current passing through the load is sensed by the current sensor module (ACS712) and fed to the analog pin (A0) of the Arduino/Wemos board. The 5V power supply module provides power to the microcontroller (Arduino/Wemos), the Current sensor (ACS712) and OLED display. To the load through the current sensor (ACS712) Then the AC power line is distributed in two parts:ġ. Power from the AC mains is drawn and passed through a fuse for avoiding any damage to the circuit board during the accidental short circuit. The block diagram of the entire project is shown above. Of course, a lot of commercial devices already exist for energy monitoring, but I wanted to build my own version which shall be simple and low cost. This would reduce their energy costs, as well as conserve energy. The goal of creating more awareness about energy consumption would be optimization and reduction in energy usage by the user. At the end of the project, I made a nice 3D printed enclosure for this project. By using this Energy Meter, you can measure the power consumption of any home appliances.
CT SHIELD V2.0 HOW TO
So In this Instructables, I am going to show you how to make a simple wifi enabled AC Energy Meter by using Arduino/Wemos board.
CT SHIELD V2.0 SOFTWARE
Still, now I am receiving emails and messages from people with questions regarding hardware and software modification for monitoring AC Power consumption. So many students have made it for their college project by taking help from me.

It became very popular on the internet, lots of people all over the world have built their own. Earlier I have posted an Instructables on Arduino Energy Meter which was mainly designed to monitor the power from the solar panel (DC Power) in my village. 14.Hello friend, welcome back after a long break.
