Hi Andreas, very interesting video! I have a Shelly 1pm Plus in the socket that power my computers and instruments in my home office. I use not more that 400 KW at peak with one desktop computer and a laptop on, but usually it’s just 60 W. I find in the instructions for Shelly that that can be used for powers up to 16 A, but the maximum of the copper cables section is 1.5 mm2! Now, the standard in France for 16A sockets is 2.5 mm2, which strangely enough I could fit in the Shelly 1PM. How do you plan to measure the consumption of appliances which use up to 20 A (in France copper wire of 4mm2) or of an induction cooktop, copper wire of 6 mm2 for currents up to 32 A? Do you think that things like an Aeotec clamp meter (AEOEZW0) would work? What about the cheaper Tuya meter with a clamp you used? Thanks!

Hi Max, I assume they use a 16A relay… For such high currents I use coils around the original cable similar to the DIN rail Tuya. Like that you do not have to change anything in the original cabling. The ones I showed are for smaller loads (which are much more common in our homes).

Hi Erich, I got mine on 09.07.2022, and so far, I have not flashed them. I use their native MQTT.
