7. Voltcraft SEM6000 CH
Elegant design meets top precision. The VOLTCRAFT SEM6000 CH BT energy cost meter offers the perfect compromise between design and functionality. Hidden within the compact 55 by 55 millimeter pure white housing of the SEM6000 CH is high-quality measurement technology that accurately measures power consumption and power factor to three decimal places.
Current energy consumption at a glance: Thanks to the simple LED ring, which is elegantly integrated into the housing, you can quickly see the current energy demand of the connected device. The LED ring's color ranges from deep green to red, changing according to energy consumption. Green indicates low consumption, while red signals high energy demand.
Consumption analysis in your preferred file format: You can easily and conveniently convert energy consumption data into various Office and Google formats in the form of graphs. Whether you want to analyze days, weeks, months, or years, it's all possible.
Your smartphone becomes a remote control: Simply turn the VOLTCRAFT SEM6000 CH on and off using your smartphone or tablet. This way, it not only serves as an energy cost meter but also transforms your device into a remote control.
Automated switching of connected devices: Want your lighting to automatically turn on at 8 PM and off again at 6 AM? No problem. Program your switching times easily via your smartphone or tablet. You can program a total of 12 switching times (either on or off) for the SEM6000 CH. Each switching time can be set as one-time or recurring (selecting the weekdays on which the switching time repeats).
Special features: Bluetooth interface, data export, data logger function, cost forecasting, adjustable electricity tariff, app control.

8. Voltcraft Energy Cost Meter
The Voltcraft SEM5000 is plugged in between the socket and the consumer and quickly and precisely displays the energy consumption or electricity costs in the selected currency. How much energy is consumed in a given time? The SEM 5000 is an energy logger. The logger uses the same technology for extremely precise energy cost measurement as all devices in the proven Voltcraft SEM series. However, this device has been specially developed for use in companies that do not allow any connection to the IT infrastructure. Therefore, you will not find a Bluetooth or WLAN connection with this device. Recorded power data is transferred to a company PC for further processing with the help of an SD card and is thus completely independent of company networks or mobile devices. On the display itself, active power, mains voltage, current, power factor, mains frequency, kilowatt hours, energy costs and CO₂. Maximum values can also be shown directly on the display, e.g. to record short-term switch-on peaks. To minimise reading errors, an extremely high-contrast EBTN display is installed, which is optimised for a reading angle of 90° frontal to 170° from above, as most sockets are below eye level. For convenient programming at the desk and without connection to the mains, the display switches the illumination down to a minimum. Wear parts such as rechargeable batteries or batteries in the unit have been dispensed with. A maintenance-free Super Cap capacitor provides up to 10 min of energy to set and save times, electricity tariffs or CO₂ emission settings.

10. Shelly 3EM
The Shelly 3EM distinguishes and detects energy consumption and energy feed-in to the grid. The measurement data is displayed in the app, the optionally activatable cloud, and the web interface in clear graphics. Additionally, MQTT can be activated to register it with a corresponding MQTT broker. It is factory calibrated with the included clamps, achieving an accuracy of over 99%. Furthermore, it features a relay contact that can be used to control a relay, for example. Installation is done in the distribution box on the DIN rail. The measurement values are displayed in real-time. It is also possible to calculate energy costs. The Shelly 3EM can be controlled via the Shelly app, the optionally activatable cloud, as well as through MQTT and REST API. Energy consumption thresholds can be set, and when reached, the Shelly 3EM can switch off the power via the relay contact. Control based on time or sunrise and sunset is also possible. In addition to measuring energy consumption, the energy fed into the grid can also be measured. The Shelly 3EM automatically detects how much energy is consumed and how much is fed in, presenting this information clearly in a graphic. The measurement data is stored in the cloud for 365 days. The data is also written to a CSV file in 5-minute intervals, which can be exported by the Shelly 3EM. The Shelly 3EM features a programming and debug header that can be used for flashing alternative firmware. It is equipped with an ESP8266 with 4 MB of flash. It can be integrated into various smart home systems: Home Assistant, Hubitat, openHAB, Domoticz, REST API, MQTT, ioBroker, nymea, and HomeSeer.
