NOTE

The app provides an overview of the total battery level, with detailed daily and monthly power consumption visible upon selecting the power curve.

AC power calculation follows the formula: P = UI cosθ (where cosθ ≤ 1), with cosθ representing the circuit’s power factor. Only resistive loads such as incandescent lamps, dryers, heaters, and electric water heaters have a power factor equal to 1.

When the device’s live wire phase aligns with the measured live wire phase, only the line load influences the power factor.

This device operates on the Zigbee protocol and cannot directly connect to a 2.4G WiFi network.

It is incompatible with Zigbee Home Automation; please use the Tuya or Smart Life app.

Customer review: This product integrates well with Home Assistant via Zigbee2mqtt. For optimal performance, stop z2m and update the device identifier from >TZE28C1000000_81yrt3lo to >TZE284_81yrt3lo within Zigbee2mqtt’s database using the “file editor”, then restart.

FAQ

Q: Why can't my device connect to 2.4G WiFi?

A: This is a ZigBee device and does not connect directly to WiFi. A Tuya ZigBee gateway hub is required to operate this device. Please ensure you have a Tuya ZigBee gateway.

Q: Is this a ZigBee 3.0 standard device?

A: No, this unit uses Tuya ZigBee and is only compatible with the Tuya ZigBee Gateway.

Q: Is this device compatible with Zigbee2MQTT?

A: Yes, but requires specific setup. Internal ID: _TZE284_81yrt3lo. Installation of the quirk from 'github.com/jeverley/zha-device-handlers/blob/ts0601_energy_meter_devices/zhaquirks/tuya/ts0601_energy_meter.py' is recommended.

Q: Is this device compatible with Home Assistant?

A: Direct compatibility is not available. Configuration through ZigBee2MQTT is necessary before integration with Home Assistant. For straightforward use, the Tuya Smart or Smart Life apps are advised.

Q: Does the device have an overload alarm?

A: No, the device does not support this function.

A Tuya Gateway is Required

Please note this device requires a Tuya ZigBee Gateway for operation as it cannot receive 2.4G WiFi signals directly.

The app distinctly displays real-time power, current, and voltage for both Channels A and B across Forward and Reverse directions, enabling precise monitoring.

Offering 2 Channels for Reverse and Forward current measurement, the device ensures comprehensive electrical monitoring.

Choice of 1 or 2 Channels available to suit your specific application needs.

Each channel's data can be accessed via the dedicated application interface.

- Real-time total power across both channels in forward and reverse directions.

- Individual power readings for Channel A and Channel B in watts (W).

- Current measurements in milliamperes (mA).

- Voltage monitoring in volts (V).

- Power factor and frequency (Hz) monitoring for enhanced energy management.

Detailed electricity statistics for each channel in both Forward and Reverse directions include:

- Hourly Energy Consumption (kWh)

- Daily Energy Consumption (kWh)

- Monthly Energy Consumption (kWh)

- Yearly Energy Consumption (kWh)

Technical Data:

Rated Voltage: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz

Measurable Current Range: 0.2A - 80A

Wireless Protocol: ZigBee

Ambient Temperature Range: -10°C to 55°C

Electricity statistics are available separately for Channels A and B as well as total consumption data for daily, monthly, and yearly periods in both Reverse and Forward directions.

Automation capabilities enable seamless integration with other Tuya devices through customized scenes.

Example: Trigger other Tuya devices when power or current exceeds preset thresholds.
