Re: Support for PZEM 004T Energy monitor

Hi serjkru,
I'm very interested, too! This seems to have a good fit with the direction I'd like to take, which is to measure power use in each (main) circuit in my house.
I'd be very happy if you could share your schematic and plugin, please. :)
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
