Meter PZEM-004 + ESP8266 & Platform IoT Node-RED &

In this opportunity we will integrate our active power meter or electric consumption,Pzem-004 - Peacefair with the IoT Node-RED Dashboard

Details

In this opportunity we will integrate our active power meter or electric consumption,Pzem-004 - Peacefair with the IoT Node-RED integration platform used in previous tutorials, we will use an ESP8266 module configured as Modbus TCP / IP slave, later we will visualize the measurements in Node- RED Dashboard to visualize the 4 available variables such as active power, accumulated electrical consumption, voltage and current.

Tests Performed

We will measure the electrical consumption of a resistance to heat water, consume approximately 920 Watts and we will visualize the measurements in a dashboard created in Node-RED Dashboard and the communication implemented Modbus TCP / IP.
