New Frient Electricity Meter Interface 2, LED now available (Europe only).
I just ordered one on Amazon to test.
Not sure what it can offer though, is it designed to be compatible with ST energy plug in, how accurate and what can it deduce ? from my experience with ST energy plug in, it tells you nothing useful, just historical
i am 100% for helping to keep bills down but so far there is nothing in ST to help with that
It installs on your meter so it measures all of your electricity use. You can see how much electricity you use at different times of the day. It should be very accurate at measuring and how much your electricity is costing.
Update 20/11/23
The accuracy is good.
29th September meter reading was 42881 kwh
20th November meter reading was 43529 kwh
When I installed the reader I entered 800 for pulse and 2881 starting point in settings.
Energy consumption is shown as 649 kwh
Just for fun I get a notification if power stays at 3000 Watts for 5 minutes!
Thanks for the informative post.
I thought I read somewhere, but can’t find it now, and its a calibration I will need to make - the reading for the input LED, number of pulses per kWh, can be configured easily in ST?

Thanks for the confirmation, which was the doubt I had to order this.
Hi @Andrew_Bartlett ,
I may be interested in purchasing, but does it show and work in the Smartthings Energy Section as well?
From your (older) screenshots of the device tile, it seems that it is/was not integrated within the Energy App because the link/“button” for it is missing. Would you please confirm?
Thanks in advance!
No just ‘by itself’, but obviously it’s on your meter so shows all your usage.
Sono d’accordo non ha nessun tipo di impostazioni, ad esempio si puo resettare il totale a fine mese?
Quale sarebbe il driver corretto?
