In this Home Assistant tutorial, we'll take a look at adwanced power monitoring options using a Zigbee Rail Switch and Zigbee2MQTT to monitor your power power usage at a central point. This simple project will help you keep track of your power usage and make sure everything is running smoothly in your home. Watch now to learn how to set it up and improve your home automation system!
The Rail Switch was bought from Aliexpress:
Tongou Zigbee MCB Smart Circuit Breaker

Since I did not use this brand before, I had to mount it after the existing Breaker just to make sure no issues will be encountered int he future.
Have fun watching this DIY Home Automation project.

Thanks for the video! I was considering to buy exactly this model. I still have two questions (actually three, but @XDaam just asked one of them). Is it compatible with the Sonoff Zigbee coordinator? Did you test the overcurrent breaker function? Is it accurate and fast?

@TricksAndThings 4 месяца назад

Hi, glad it was useful. It works with any zigbee coordinator (just make sure you order the zigbee version). I did not get the chance to test the overcurrent protection. That's why I mounted it after the normal breaker. I will do some tests probably low amps (1-5) and see how fast it trips (if it trips )

It works also with ZHA out of the box

@TricksAndThings 3 месяца назад

Super. Thank you for the update. Unfortunately i could not test with zha since i only have one coordinator on z2m

@iuliandragomirescu6851 3 месяца назад

Hi, with ZHA you can configure over current, voltage etc.? because with z2m I can do this, but in zha these settings do not appear

@stefantaschelmayer8413 3 месяца назад

@@iuliandragomirescu6851 Hi, with ZHA you can only read kWh, W, V & A. There is (actually) no possibility to set over current or voltage.

@TricksAndThings 3 месяца назад

@@stefantaschelmayer8413 that's a pitty that ZHA is so behind on integrations. After having some issues with different devices I switched everything to z2m

Does I need to use cloud? Or it just local

@TricksAndThings 4 месяца назад

I have the zigbee version (there also is a standard wifi model) and this one works 100% local. never even installed their app

I have same zigbee tongou but in my Home Assistant I have't the temperature and all the power switch... did you know why please ? Mersi mult de video :-)

@MrDenisJoshua 14 дней назад

I found the problem... my version is TO-Q-SY1-JZT and your is SY2 (01:31) So mine is older... :-(

@TricksAndThings 10 дней назад

Eu mulțumesc pentru comment :) Is it added via Z2M? in Z2M appears as model TO-Q-SY2-163JZT and zigbee model TS011F so yah probably an older revision. Z2M does not see any new firmware for it. (later edit since I did not see your second comment for some reason)
