Energy Monitoring

Home Energy Monitoring

Find where electricity use changes. Choose the main CT layout and circuit coverage that match your panel.

WattPanel monitors electricity consumed and produced, with whole-home data and up to 16 individual circuit channels. Start with WattPanel-2X for the 120/240V split-phase buying path, or review WattPanel-3X when your installation needs three main CTs. A qualified electrical professional must confirm the actual service and panel fit.

How the path works

See the pattern, then decide what to investigate.

Monitoring turns panel data into a view of household demand. It can reveal changes worth investigating without promising a fixed savings result.

01

Match coverage to the question

Whole-home data shows total demand. Add circuit CTs to compare selected loads such as HVAC or appliances; up to 16 channels are supported, but the bundle determines included sensors.

02

Compare usage and production

Review historical consumption and production data in the connected app. Compare similar periods before deciding which load or usage habit needs investigation.

03

Investigate, then make a change

Use the pattern to guide a load or schedule review. Monitoring does not guarantee savings and is not a billing-meter substitute. Panel work belongs to qualified electrical personnel.

Fit before buying

Panel fit belongs in the buying decision.

Before ordering, confirm the electrical service context, available panel space, required sensors, and who should handle installation. Product images explain the system; they are not wiring instructions.

  • Have a qualified electrical professional confirm service arrangement, voltage, CT placement, and panel space against the selected model's manual.
  • Choose the main CT size and number of circuit sensors you need; up to 16 circuit channels does not mean every bundle includes 16 sensors.
  • Confirm 2.4GHz WiFi at the installation location. 5GHz is not supported; the external antenna must be outside the metal panel.
  • Do not open or work inside a live panel. Service mains remain live even when the main breaker is off; installation and servicing require qualified electrical personnel.

Support and documents

Keep manuals and support in the decision path.

Use the product page for hardware details, the buying guides for electrical context, and manuals for source information. Ask support when those sources do not resolve the home-specific question.

Questions

Home Energy Monitoring FAQ

How can home energy monitoring help understand electricity usage?

It can help homeowners see usage patterns and review when electricity demand changes, but it does not guarantee lower bills.

Is this an installation guide?

No. This page explains the buying path and compatibility questions. Electrical work may require a qualified professional and local code review.

What is the difference between WattPanel-2X and WattPanel-3X?

WattPanel-2X has two main CTs; WattPanel-3X has three and supports DIN-rail mounting. Both monitor consumption and production and support up to 16 individual circuit channels. Choose from the model's available bundles and have electrical service compatibility verified rather than assuming the models are interchangeable.

Where should I go if the fit is unclear?

Use the electrical guides first, then contact support if product documentation does not resolve the question.

Ready to compare

Choose the monitor, then choose the CT bundle.

Use 2X for the split-phase buying path, or review 3X for three main CTs. If the service arrangement or panel fit is unresolved, ask support before ordering and share the selected model and the question your electrician needs answered.
