Power consumption of programmable switches

Welcome, Bayza, to the OEM forum.

I can answer the technical questions, the availability of the emonTx4 with WiFi is for @gwil or The Shop to answer.

  1. By default, only the active power and voltage is sent by the emonTx. However, the rms current is available within the emonTx and only requires a small change to the software to send this to emonCMS. Unfortunately, no information about the reactive components of the current (and hence the power) is available.
  2. Without individual calibration of each channel, the accuracy of the emonTx4 should be within ±1.2% (Overview — OpenEnergyMonitor 0.0.1 documentation). When the “new” emonPi becomes available, this should be the same

Yes, but I expect a 6-channel expansion board to become available soon, taking the total up to 12 current/power channels. I have one, and the software for it is being tested.

I have not looked at this Emon32 - a modern energy monitoring implementation (I don’t understand Github) but it might be of interest.

Also worth detailed consideration: Emontx3-continuous - New continuous monitoring firmware but you would need to manufacture an equivalent device to the emonTx V3.
