...... my brew kit runs off 32a commando sockets. Brewkit will use a a few fair few KW over a short time, but running a glycol chiller and a couple of fridges constantly over time will consume more over time...so wanted to monitor that over time.

Ages ago, I bought a refurbished analogue electricity meter, rated 80A. It's wired with plug, and trailing socket leads, these could be 32A.
It's fixed on a wood base, as spinning dial meters, need to be upright to work properly.

There's also refurbished digital electricity meters, rated 100A. These are often used in student / sub let flats.

I use TP-Link Tapo plugs. THey connect to your WiFi and an app on your phone and once you program in your leccy rates (can take up to at least three different ones) they'll record the usage and cost of any electrical item plugged into them and turned on.

And currently very cheap on Amazon. 1728306279131.png
