InEnergy - Smart Energy
InEnergy is the module for monitoring electricity consumption in real time, analysing cost, scheduling smart control and recommending savings. It supports single- and three-phase energy meters, plus smart switches and relays for controlling equipment.

| EM-1P-100A | PZEM-004T v3 | 1 | 100A (CT) | V, I, P, E, F, PF |
| EM-3P-100A | Custom | 3 | 100A/phase | V(R,S,T), I(R,S,T), P, E, F, PF |
| EM-3P-200A | Custom | 3 | 200A/phase | V(R,S,T), I(R,S,T), P, E, F, PF |
| Parameter | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage (V) | Volt | Supply voltage |
| Current (I) | Ampere | Current draw |
| Power (P) | Watt | Active power |
| Energy (E) | kWh | Cumulative energy consumption |
| Frequency (F) | Hz | Grid frequency (50 Hz in Indonesia) |
| Power Factor (PF) | - | Power factor (0-1) |
Smart switch / relay (control)
| Variant | Channels | Max load | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC-1CH-10A | 1 | 10A (2200W) | On/off, scheduling, timer |
| SC-2CH-10A | 2 | 10A/ch | Independent on/off per channel |
| SC-4CH-10A | 4 | 10A/ch | Independent, plus grouping |
Telemetry
- Single-phase meter:
voltage,current,power,energy,frequency,power_factor. - Three-phase meter:
voltage_r/s/t,current_r/s/t,total_power,energy,frequency,power_factor. - Smart switch (state):
switch_1..4(boolean). Command:method: setRelay,params: { channel, state }.
Full payload examples → API Reference.
Smart scheduling
Schedule equipment to switch on and off by time. The platform's scheduler (ticking once a minute) sends a real MQTT command to the device.
Cost analysis & recommendations
The dashboard estimates the monthly bill from the PLN tariff you configure, and points out patterns of waste - a load running outside working hours, for instance - as savings recommendations.
Industrial scale (BEMS)
For factories with many machines, InEnergy has an advanced tier (Building & Industrial Energy Management System): grouping per workshop, rule chains for overload detection, peak load prediction, and a per-machine "reasonable limit" threshold you can set yourself from the solution's Settings page.
