When a clamp on energy monitor is needed the PZEM-004T together with a Sonoff Basic can be used. The PZEM-004T together with a Sonoff Basic provide a good clamp on energy monitor.

## Preparation ## Preparation
Install Tasmota on the Sonoff Basic and confirm it's functionality before connecting the PZEM-004T to it's serial interface. Install Tasmota on the Sonoff Basic and confirm it's functionality before connecting the PZEM-004T to it's serial interface.

As the PZEM-004T expects 5V serial data and the Sonoff Basic only provides up to 3V3 the expected optocoupler input power of the PZEM-004T has to reduced. This can be accomplished by soldering a 1k resistor between the joints as shown below.

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

As most parts are connected to AC try to fit the hardware in a solid enclosure.
