There are several DH with various mods out there. The only to be “careful” about is that on Android devices, some of the code used for color didn’t work. I don’t know if that is still the case. They may have fixed that by now.
This thread talks about one of them:
HEM v1 shows kwh and watts. I was able to pick one up on amazon for 35.00. HEM v2 shows amps, volts, kwh, and watts among other improvements.
There are extended apps for both that will show cost and extra info using the data from either.
and here’s another one. I would try them and see which one you like the most:
I just got two of these (the old, v1 version) recently, and can’t get either of them to report.
When I pair them, they pair immediately as what seems like it should be the correct device type automatically (Aeon Home Energy Meter).
However, they never report.
I have also tried a couple of other community-created device types. With one of them, it changes the look of the device in the ST app, but doesn’t report, and with the other one, it completely disables my ability to even go into the Things list in the ST app, and I have to go to the IDE to change the device type to something else to get back in with the ST app.
Since neither of them are working, I sort of assume I’m doing something wrong, but perhaps they are defective?
I started a support case with SmartThings, and they are work…
