I was expecting this cheap energy monitor plug from eBay to be usable, but inaccurate.
It's not. There is a very fancy chip inside that rivals the accuracy of the Hopi, but with the slight annoyance of only displaying one or two variables at a time.
The chip has a manual that is over 100 pages long!

Which beats the processor in the same unit.
With proper understanding of the circuitry being at mains potential, the small circuit board could be an excellent base for a customised energy monitoring system.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
