Update of IAMMETER recently
This article introduces the latest upgrade of IAMMETER.
- support EV charger in IAMMETER-cloud.
- Release a new 3phase energy meter,WEM3050T.
- Support the measurement of kvar and kvarh.
- Release IAMMETER-simulator.
Cloud :Support EV charger via OCPP
If you have an EV charger and it supports OCPP, you can connect it to IAMMETER now. Then you can set the strategy of EV charging from IAMMETER. If you like, you can charge the EV totally with solar surplus power.
For more details ,please refer to Connect an EV charger from IAMMETER
New hardware released, WEM3050T,3 phase ,2P
WEM3050T is a new 3 phase energy meter, it provides nearly all features of WEM3080T but only uses the package of 2P(the package of WEM3080T is 4P).
In addition, the WEM3050T does not include the service of IAMMETER-cloud by default, which means it will be cheaper than the WEM3080T(If you do not use the cloud service).
Hardware: support the measurement of reactive power(kvar) and kvarh
we once released a TR version for WEM3080T, which supports the measurement of reactive power and Kvarh. Now , no need for the TR version anymore. All of the WEM3080T and WEM3050T support the measurement of reactive power and Kvarh(produced after Sep 2023).

Q(Kvar): reactive power, positive value means inductive, negative value means capacitive
KVARh: reactive energy, each phase contains two KVARh, KVARh for inductive load and KVARh for capacitor load.
IAMMETER-Simulator: a free tool that evaluates the IAMMETER`s product and system
IAMMETER-simulator is a free software developed by the IAMMETER team.
It provides such features below:
configure the data of PV output(the PV data can be simulated or read from a real energy meter)
simulated different loads
simulated EV charger(via OCPP)
simulated grid exchange(the grid data will be on the premise of the solar and load)
All of the above data will be returned in the same API as WEM3080T, so the simulator will be integrated into each platform by the same method as the WEM3080T. When you want to replace the simulator with the real energy meter, the only work is to change the IP setting from the simulator to the real energy meter.
