It can wirelessly report immediate wattage and kWh usage to central control point gateways such as the and can be easily and safely installed by anyone Review: Great product, especially for $30 - I was looking for an energy monitor for "fun" but wasn't willing to pay more than about $50 for it. I decided to give this a try since it was so inexpensive, $30. Turns out to be a very good purchase. I'm relatively new to home automation and monitoring but pairing it my SmartThings hub was a breeze. The instructions are a bit lacking but I think that most people who are interested in doing this kind of thing can figure it out pretty easily. I was concerned about signal strength since my panel is on the opposite end of the house from the hub (about 55' and one floor down) but this wasn't a problem. The connection appears to be very reliable. I ran the device until it accumulated about 100kWh and compared it to my National Grid meter and the device was about 3% high. I consider this pretty good for a $30 monitor and for what I want to do. This test was run during an unusually high period of power consumption for me so I'm interested in seeing how accurate it is during lower load periods. One reason I wanted the monitor was to determine my base load to better understand who's using what during these periods. It will be interesting to see if it maintains accuracy at these lower loads. Anyway, I don't need another one but I would purchase it again. Review: Price is right, but make sure you fully understand the limitations and what you're getting yourself involved in. - This product is excellent for the price as long as you're aware that it only measures current and has no means to measure the mains voltage. Perfect if you would like an inexpensive product to help you keep track of your home energy usage, but don't need it to be accurate enough to argue with the power utility about your bill. (If you need more accuracy you can get the Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Home Energy Meter, 2nd Edition (DSB28-ZWUS) which measures current and voltage for about $70 more.) Be aware that you will need to hire an electrician to install this, or if you are comfortable working in your load center you will need to attach the clamps to the two thick mains wires without getting yourself killed. Turning the main breaker off will NOT make you safe, as these are the mains wires that are always hot. If you are not 100% confident that you can do this you need to hire an electrician or have your electric utility disconnect the power. I did it myself because I was confident that I could but that does not mean it was a smart decision on my part, don't risk your life unnecessarily over a poorly-documented $25 part. Keep in mind the wires from the clamps will need to be routed outside of the box so the module can communicate with the z-wave receiver as the shielding from the load center will severely reduce the device's range. Don't just knock a hole out, use proper fittings or clamps to comply with code requirements (I used an NM cable adapter). Plan on plugging this into a power source as this thing is practically useless with batteries (in fact don't install batteries at all, as it will choose one or the other and will always default to battery power). Also, the documentation is terrible. If you don't mind polling the device constantly it isn't so bad, but if you want it to transmit status updates when the readings change you can easily lose an entire evening reading forum posts and not get anywhere. Be prepared to learn more than you ever wanted to know about z-wave. If you are an OpenHAB user and have Habmin installed I will be happy to answer any questions that I am able to. You know what, if you aren't going to do this yourself and plan to hire an electrician just get the newer more-expensive model. Otherwise, for the time and cost it's not worth the effort. ## Features - Gen 1/Battery Powered ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B01FOW66DS | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,853,512 in Tools & Home Improvement (See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement) #2,907 in Voltage Testers | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (156) 3.4 out of 5 stars | | Date First Available | February 22, 2012 | | Item Model Number | DSB09104-ZWUS | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Manufacturer | Aeon Labs | | Part Number | DSB09104-ZWUS | | Power Source | battery-powered | | Product Dimensions | 2.5 x 5.5 x 10.5 inches | | Voltage | 240 volts | ## Images ![Aeotec Home Energy Meter 1E,monitor record energy consumption Z-Wave battery powered - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516ouTV0zvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, especially for $30 *by S***O on September 24, 2017* I was looking for an energy monitor for "fun" but wasn't willing to pay more than about $50 for it.

What a waste of time! Also the firmware is extremely difficult to upgrade and impossible without windows. I had to poll the device for updates which is noisy on the z-wave network. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/45667717-aeotec-home-energy-meter-1e-monitor-record-energy-consumption-z](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/45667717-aeotec-home-energy-meter-1e-monitor-record-energy-consumption-z) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
