[@yahyaalramadan4665]

Hi, thanks for the great video! Can I get a push notification if power consumption per hour exceeded a specific limit?

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Mat.

[@notenoughtech]

Thanks for watching

[@reibeiro]

I bought a Sonoff powr320a I have a problem, when it has something connected to it, it turns itself off after some time, I have already looked at the settings and there is no time to turn it off and when it has nothing on it does not turn off, can anyone help me?

[@user-hh7mv8wg5p]

Hi, is possible to connect an external battery to save the info if the power goes down?

[@user-ro9ny9cc4h]

Can you please confirm that is it still true that if set thresholds have conditions met, it won't be turned on by 3rd party platform, even with min power condition

[@listerthat]

I have one of these but when you download the power rating logs. They show 0 values for dates that appear to go back to the units manufacture date about 6 months ago. But correct logs from when it was installed. Frustrating to scroll through zero values. Anyone have a fix for this ?

[@u8915055]

Great video. Really enjoying your channel. I’ve used sonoff for a long time. I wish they would make a device that is like a combination of TH and POW. I have a heater in the greenhouse that I want to control based on temperature but I also want to know how much power it’s consuming. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this with sonoff? In the old days you could take a POW I believe and leverage tasmota and a temperature added to an extra gpio pin. Not sure if that’s an option these days with the elites. Thanks for the great video.

[@notenoughtech]

When tasmota is finalised for these you can use existing GPIO to connect DHT11 and get the temperature readings too.

[@u8915055]

@@notenoughtech oh that would be great! Thanks for the response. Hello from Vancouver!

[@tafadzwamusarurwa2154]

[@ct6858]

Hey, great video! Any idea if this can handle inductive load from a refrigerator? We're on a 240V system so current might be lower than usual, and our standard breaker is only 10A.

[@notenoughtech]

You'd have to check the exact rating. Other than actual power use...not sure if relay controlling your fridge makes that much sense. New appliances are pretty optimised.

[@anyad89]

Is there any limit of devices behind the Sonoff Pow Elite 16D? Or it just not to get over the 16 és 20Amp? I would like to put it before my garden/garden circuit. On that i use lot of things like drill, saw etc.

[@notenoughtech]

The limit is to keep the device safe, so you want to stick to that. there is no physical limitation that would stop you drawing more current, however you have over current protection baked in software to make sure you don't go over set thresholds

[@romaintorrente5220]

Hello, Do you think the 20A version is safe for use with a water heater (230V, 2500W AC) or you advice for a POW R3 ? I think there is no problem (2500W means 10A) because power factor seems to be 1 (A water heater is fully resisting I think) but my fear is that the consumption can be 2500W for 6 to 7 consecutives hours and sonoff device can be hot ?

[@notenoughtech]

You should be fine. As this is a resistive load so you are well within the spec. For the sake of safety set limits on your device so it turns off if it thinks you draw too much

[@crazy12f]

Nice update from r3, but can it counts "ON" time in a day/month? Like how many hours device ON in a day/month?

[@notenoughtech]

There is a log of each event but no easy way to look up just this info

[@94zwone]

Hello,does it function if i have a solar grid installed? Does the grid production power shows as a - or + on the device consumption?

[@notenoughtech]

It won't work this way. It will only measure current through the device but not the direction

[@zevan4b]

Is there something similar that you can connect to my consumer unit -for the whole house?

[@notenoughtech]

Shelly pro 4 pm would give you more wiggle room

[@kilerholixs1]

since POW Elite has no ground connection unlike Gen1 & R2, can I connect ground wire directly to the main power switch?

[@notenoughtech]

You could bypass the earth and run it directly. The only disadvantage of that is that Elite isn't Earthed but your device still will be,

[@SmithyScotland]

Tasmota 👍🏻

[@Supastallsta]

Hi is the ideal for a small room with lights and plugs or will the power rating be too high?

[@notenoughtech]

Lights are negligible, as per sockets - it depends what load you are plugging in.. do the math, you will know what to expect

[@farrukhchd]

Can i turn off any other device if consumption exceeds specific KWH? Does this device offer any such scene creation?

[@notenoughtech]

Yes you can set the limit and turn off the device when it hits the limit

[@MAMDAVEM]

Interesting unit. I would have preferred that they had built better cable restraints, like in some of their other devices, rather than have the wires dangle out of the bottom of the device. At least they have addressed those awful lever action terminals that they have in other devices. Seems quite good value for money.

[@notenoughtech]

I hated these push in terminals. I don't mind the screw in ones as they will keep the cable in place fairly well

[@GregWoodsLancs]

I had 2 POW R2 melt due to those terrible conectors

[@Joseph-mu1zb]

Is the 16amps or 20amps advertising based on inductive load or resistive load?

[@aphaseelec]

Resistive

[@tanthanhdat]

Hi, i am first view ..hihi. Pls make review about spm module of Sonoff ...pls...pls

[@notenoughtech]

Thanks. Look up Sonoff SPM on my channel it's already out

[@santro652]

Nice video, I am planning to connect this to my EV charger, will this device cut off and turn back on if there is voltage fluctuations? If voltage goes above 250v turn off and automatic restore when voltage goes below 250?

[@notenoughtech]

Yes you could set the policies in automation panel to stop the charging if voltage exceeds the requirements

[@ibudeka2520]

Pow r3 vs this elite version, which one better?

[@notenoughtech]

It really depends on what your needs are. Both deliver the same data. One comes with din rail and screen

[@marinuspretorius8230]

Does it come with din rail mount

[@notenoughtech]

yes it does

[@GregWoodsLancs]

How are you supposed to get that bottom cover off. I have a screwdriver in the slot, and I'm just mashing plastic!

[@GregWoodsLancs]

i got in eventually, but now I need to find a jewellers screwdriver to get into the case for flashing.... my normal screwdriver bits won't fit in the tiny, deep holes.

[@xtreme2K40]

Will this work with 18,000btu(1.5 ton) AC ?

[@notenoughtech]

You need to check the current requirements for your unit.

[@xtreme2K40]

@@notenoughtech it’s 6.9Amps

[@RobinGerritsen1995]

Does it support local API? To pull the actual measurements each second to use in Node-Red?

[@notenoughtech]

Only via cloud. Or with the help of iHost

[@RobinGerritsen1995]

@@notenoughtech haven't heard of iHost before. Seem to me a great way to monitor all data from the smart devices. Too bad I have my home mostly running with Tuya devices and Tuya only offers LocalTuya with a lot of hassle (IMO). Would be willing to buy a similar iHost-device if it can work with Tuya.

[@ahmetsevik]

Refresh monitoring every 5 seconds is much for me. Sometimes ı need to see reaction of power more quickly. therefore I use another device which show refresh rate every second. Another situation, sonoff send information about value of poer or voltage to phone very late. More than 5 second. sometime frozen. esspacialy when i check from far. I can say that my ınternet connection speed is very good. therefore ı don't think that this is about internet speed. If dont need information quickly than 5 seconds then good device. I have many sonoff device in my home. But monitoring is not so well they solved for me.
