As the PZEM004T is functioning better on 5V, it can be obtained from the Voltage regulator as shown in this image.

Cut the power cable in two and connect the input wires to both Sonoff Basic and PZEM-004T. Route one of the power output wires through the PZEM-004T core and connect the output wires to the Sonoff Basic output.

As most parts are connected to high voltage AC it is recommended to fit the hardware in a solid enclosure. As most parts are connected to high voltage AC it is recommended to fit the hardware in a solid enclosure.
