In today's video we'll be installing whole home electricity monitoring to allow me to monitor my total power consumption, solar generation as well as the power draw of various circuits in my house. For this we'll be using the Refoss EM06P which supports a fully local API and web interface meaning that it can be set up without any sort of user account or app and the data can be pulled directly into Home Assistant!
