COL + rs485 meter
#1
HI,
I have a Kincony RS-484 meter. I would like to use it to monitor a photovoltaic system and carry out automations with COL.
we are talking about around 6000-6500w of power and currents around 30A. will the meter have problems?
Furthermore, can I program COL using the simple IFTTT rules linked to the meter measurements?
 thanks

take a photo, there have lable on the meter , what MAX current.
COLB PC software only use for monitor energy meter data , not use by IFTTT.
if you want to create IFTTT with meter, suggest add to home assistant software.

the meter shows 40A max, it shouldn't have any problems with around 6kw which is around 30A.
the problem is that I can't do automations with COL.

I was therefore thinking of a meter like this, which returns a 1-5V output. with this in theory I should be able to use an analog input.

make sure if the sensor can output DC 0-5v , so that you can use analog input ports of KC868-COL
