    Hey Folks,

    Just installed a heat pump and have ordered an EV car charger. Wondering if anyone could recommend a cheap energy meter for some of the sub circuits. Id love to see the usage and cost of the heating and car.

    We use an Owl energy monitor and find it very good.

    While the Shelly devices can be operated stand-alone, they really need to be paired with a home automation tool such as Home Assistant or likewise.

    I'm a big fan of Shelly - but for your application you'll probably get better functionality out of an Owl.

    Home Assistant with the Shelly plugin:

    Sems?

    Are you talking about the Shelly Cloud? I haven't played with it!
