Waisted a lot of money for someting what looked nice on paper, next time add the specs and resolutions so we know before we buy.
Despite what admin said, I managed to make software sensor for kWh in ESPhome that is accurate up to 0.001 kWh.
I'm not a programmer, or expert, I used an LLM to make it. But it seems to work fine.
As I stated before, it uses software to calculate kWh instead of hardware components.
Admin can maybe use it in KC software update. Let user decide if they want insensitive 1kWh from hardware or sensitive 1wH from software
