Option to combine legs of two pole breakers to look like a single circuit.

[smithsrsn]

Create an option to combine both legs of a multiple pole breaker with two CTs to appear as a single circuit. This would allow users to maintain the accuracy of using two CT’s and still see the totalized data for a 220 volt appliance. This would prevent having to add/multiply/divide numbers in my head when the app could do it for me.

This has been mentioned a few times.  Maybe in the next app update?

Some people just advocate to use one CT and use the multiplier.  I’m still in the data recording phase so I will see what the legs are and maybe use some numbers for the multiplier based on my trending data.  Currently, I have A/C-1 = 172.841 and A/C-2=171.642.  So, A/C-2 x 2.007 would be approximately the same as the two added together.  I have not tested, yet, how many positions there are to the right of the decimal.

I’m OCD so I will probably wait until the app gives me the separate and combined numbers.

Hi @smithsrsn this is on the development teams list of improvements.  We are working to get this out in the next couple of months.

Thanks for your input!

Yes ! !

Excellent.

As a new customer, I am impressed with the product so far. Glad to hear it is getting even better.

I’d love to see this feature added to the app!

Did this feature get introduced or is it still in development/testing?

I just got mine installed and this is the first feature I was looking for in the app and found this forum thread.

“Next couple of months”… is now 21 months later than that post…

On the home screen I just want a combined value when two circuits have the same name.  It’s not hard to do.

I have several subpanels with unbalanced loads so I used two CTs in the main panel for accuracy for those circuits.

Ideally I would like to see the total but also want to be able to drill down to see individual CT/leg differences for those circuits that are combined.

Amps are also more important to me than KW or KWH or $$$ as I’m pushing limits of 200A service, which is why I purchased the device.
