We don’t need voltage at each circuit/breaker — they won’t vary much anyway within same panel. Voltage drop per circuit is at the other end of each circuit — nothing you can do to monitor that from the panel anyway.  I only care about voltage drop/fluctuation in my panel from the utility dependent on my total load.   There is already voltage inputs available to the unit via the 4-wire connector including neutral and both hot legs (for the whole panel), so the hardware is already there.

The software is a different story.  They currently only upload and store “watts” per circuit, not separately volts, amps, and power factor.  So even for an API to draw from their current cloud datastore wouldn’t get us voltage.  And if they did change their entire datastore to include V/A/PF per circuit, it would not include historical data for those.  So it’s not a straightforward and simple software change, but I think it is certainly possible using current hardware.

“Me too”.

I need to see voltage drop from my meter when I’m pulling near full 200A breaker limit to see how much power (heat) I’m losing to line losses.

Thx.

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.
