<div dir="ltr">I also use Eguage, But for the reasons you mentioned ($$$), I also fully recommend Emporia If not needing DC. It is really inexpensive and Just works, has 1 second sample rate. But, it looks like they no longer offer just the standalone MAINS logger without all the branch circuit CT's.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 14, 2025 at 1:36\u202fPM Zeke Yewdall via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>That's actually what I prefer doing on most systems, to have exactly the monitoring I want, at higher precision than the AIO's give, and also independent of the AIO's server, wherever that may be.

But, not all customers can take the cost of a good egauge setup, which tends to run at least $2k if you start adding DC ct's and voltage transducers to monitor the MPPT inputs. $1k even for a basic AC monitoring setup.</div><div><br></div><div>Zeke</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 14, 2025 at 9:20\u202fAM William Miller <<a href="mailto:william@millersolar.com" target="_blank">william@millersolar.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">I suppose one could add an E-gauge system with CTs in appropriate locations. <br clear="all"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><br>William Miller<br>Miller Solar.com<br>805-438-5600<br><a href="http://www.millersolar.com" target="_blank">www.millersolar.com</a><br></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 14, 2025 at 9:16\u202fAM Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>I like data.
