Does anybody knows I2C Hall effect current sensor (10A DC) ? If so, is it supported by ESP Easy?
And second question. Is there any optoisolated extender of I2C bus ?
I want to measure DC current over cable appx 5 m long. So using ordinary connection can disturb normal ESP work and/or cause distortions of the measured current value.

Re: I2C current sensor
For fast isolated switching, you can use iCoupler chips.
Those are in several versions available and Analog Devices even has them specifically for I2C: https://www.analog.com/en/products/inte ... ators.html#
A Hall Effect sensor is merely an analog sensor value (not sure about its linearity), so I guess you should be able to measure it with just about any A/D converter.
But in my experience measuring DC-current with a Hall effect sensor is rather tricky.
Expect a low accuracy.
