Hello,

Is it possible to implement other reading from chinese power meter such as current or power factor?

Because not all loads in our house is ohmic. There are inductive loads such as refrigirators or laptop chargers etc.

If the load is ohmic, the we can use this current formula I = P/U. Because power factor = 1

But when the load is inductive, we need a third variable from power meter which is power factor.

If we can read the power factor all the time, then we can change our current formula to = I = P / (U * Pf)

Or we can just simply read current value from power meter then we can calculate power factor. It does not matter.

But i could not read current or power factor values from power meter by editing your code.

I think i need some help here.

When i study the foto (meter2.png) i see a condensator connected to the (i think) green cable just under the ESP. Witch value has it, and how it is connected?.
Can you eventual say what the reason is.

Srr for my very bad english.

Hi there,
Can you provide a picture or schematic of the wiring? On my device, I have found the CLK but I miss the MISO. Probably has a different name, therefore, a picture with the actual wires soldered will solve the mist.
Thank you,
