Abstract
The past year has seen the development of a sensor for measuring energy usage in the home - Pulse for ESPHome - based on an existing open source project from the Home Assistant project. This device was designed to meet a personal need, and has been released under a fully Free and Open Source licence.
The device is based on the M5StampS3 ESP32S3 Development board. With a kit of parts and a 3D printed enclosure this device can be easily built with the help of your local Makerspace. It will allow you to get the total energy use of your household in real-time directly from your electricity meter.
This presentaton with discuss the developmnent of the Pulse for ESPHome, how it fits into a home management system for energy management in the home, how this enables the renewable energy transition.
