Sonoff POW is a WiFi switch with the added facility of monitoring power consumption to the load it switches also it can run trends over time and give instantaneous readings.<\/p>\n

I currently use a Belkin power meter inline with my home network UPS so the Sonoff POW is a great addition enabling remote monitoring.<\/p>\n

The first job was to attache the IEC plug and socket to the Sonoff POW, I had a small IEC extension cord which I simply cut in half and used that.<\/p>\n

\"cord\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stripping the cable back, I used bootlace ferrules on the wires going under the spring connection terminals for a neat job.<\/p>\n

\"connections\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the connections were made, the lid was fitted which has integral cable grips to keep the cable from being pulled out.<\/p>\n

\"lid\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Making sure that the socket is used for the Input and the plug for the Output, I powered the unit up and paired it with my iPhone and the internet.<\/p>\n

\"phone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To connect to the UPS, I simply unpluged the IEC plug suppling the UPS and placed the Sonoff POW inbetween, using the plug from the Sonoff POW output to reconnect to the UPS and thats it!<\/p>\n

\"in<\/a><\/p>\n

The reading from the Sonoff POW and the Belkin seem to tally up, so well pleased, regarding the On\/Off switching function, I will be using this test the operation of the UPS by simulating mains failure, the Sonoff App software allows for a detailed schedule to be created, so may well automate this as some point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
