What do i need to measure the Power consumption ???

Dear all,

first of all, sorry about my bad english.
I would like to have a system to monitor the Power Consumption of my Holliday Home and share the Information over a Internet connection.
What i can:
- Soldering is not a Problem
What i not can:
- Programming

If i understud the Details on this Side right, i need a emonTx with 3 current sensors, a emonBase and the emoncms Software.
Now if i buy the emonTx and the emonBase Kits, come the controllers ready programmed? So that i just have to asamble the Components and plug it? Because i have neary no experience with programming Controllers :-(

Best Regards
Toni

Thank you, for your fast replay.

Ok, i think i start to try it with the "Mains AC: non-invasive 3.0". If i able to programm it, i try the rest.
For the Mains AC: non-invasive 3.0 i need a AC-AC Transformer, what is the needed Power of it? I have one with 9V AC and 0,33VA is this one strong enough?

Hi Toni

no power needed, your transformer is strong enough.
