I’m excited to share this insightful video that dives into enhancing the functionality of Aqara T1 switches by adding power meters, even to versions without a built-in power meter. This project showcases the versatility of Aqara devices and their integration with Zigbee2MQTT, Node-RED, and Grafana for comprehensive home automation and energy monitoring.
In this video, NotEnoughTECH demonstrates how to add power meter functionality to both versions of the Aqara T1 switch, whether they have a neutral wire or not. The project includes setting up Zigbee2MQTT, integrating with Node-RED for automation, and using Grafana for detailed energy consumption tracking. The creator also explores compatibility with different ecosystems and hubs, providing valuable insights for those looking to expand their smart home setups.
What are your thoughts on integrating power meters with your Aqara switches? Have you tried similar projects or integrations? We’d love to hear about your experiences and any creative ways you’ve enhanced your smart home setup!
