A practical guide to the best way to meter a heat pump, EV charger, or hot water system separately, including when a dedicated circuit meter is enough, when charger or appliance apps fall short, and when whole-home context still matters more than another isolated reading.
A practical guide to monitoring solar generation, battery behavior, grid import and export, and total household load without ending up with duplicated numbers, mixed boundaries, or dashboards that look detailed but still answer the wrong question.
A practical guide to sending existing Home Assistant energy data into IAMMETER Cloud with IAMMETER-Link and a Virtual Meter, including when this bridge makes sense, which sensors matter most, and how to avoid mapping mistakes that produce misleading solar or grid data.
A practical guide to monitoring a home EV charger properly without rebuilding your whole electrical setup, including when the charger's own app is enough, when you need circuit-level metering, when whole-home context matters, and how to avoid buying hardware that still leaves you blind.
A practical guide to reading three-phase home energy data without getting lost, including what total versus per-phase readings really mean, why import and export can happen at the same time, and how to spot whether the numbers are normal, misleading, or genuinely wrong.
A practical guide to deciding whether a solar home needs a main meter, a circuit meter, or both, including what each one can really tell you, where each fits best, and the setup mistakes that create blind spots or double-counted energy data.
A practical guide to upgrading from inverter-only solar visibility to real home consumption monitoring, including what to measure, which retrofit path fits different homes, and how to avoid the setup mistakes that lead to incomplete or misleading energy data.
A practical homeowner guide to why solar production is usually higher than export, when the gap is completely normal, and what to check when the numbers look wrong.
A practical guide to what a smart meter, inverter meter, and clamp-based energy monitor each measure, which one to trust for billing, solar production, and home energy troubleshooting, and why their numbers often differ.
A practical homeowner checklist to separate normal seasonal variation from real solar underperformance, using inverter faults, shading, dirt, and monitoring clues.
