Power Monitoring Functions
The SONOFF POW Origin R3 allows users to monitor:
-
Voltage (V): Real-time electrical supply voltage.
-
Current (A): Current drawn by connected appliances.
-
Power (W): Instantaneous electrical power consumption.
-
Energy (kWh): Accumulated electricity consumption.
Historical energy consumption data can be viewed through the eWeLink app and exported for further analysis.
Overload Protection
Users can configure protection thresholds for:
- Maximum Voltage
- Minimum Voltage
- Maximum Current
- Maximum Power
When a configured threshold is exceeded, the device can automatically disconnect the connected load.
Note: Smart overload protection is not a replacement for a certified circuit breaker or electrical protection device.
