Track Your Energy Like a Pro – HomeWizard P1 & Home Assistant Setup
Want to finally understand where your energy is going? In this video, I show you how I gained insight into my home energy consumption using the HomeWizard P1 meter and Active Splitter – and how easy it was to connect everything to Home Assistant.
We’ll cover:
✅ How to install the HomeWizard P1 meter
✅ How to integrate it with Home Assistant
✅ How to track solar panel output, EV charging, and household usage
✅ Why this setup gave me a much better grip on my energy data
Whether you're curious where your solar energy is going or want to see how charging your EV impacts your household usage – this is a great starting point. Over time, your energy statistics will build, giving you powerful insights through your Home Assistant energy dashboard.
💡 Thinking about tracking water usage or adding a home battery? That might be next...
