|
|||
## What you need
|
||||
- your power monitoring capable device flashed with Tasmota and configured to a correct module/template that supports power monitoring
|
||||
- calibrated multimeter (AC capable)
|
||||
- incandescent light bulb (we use a 60 W one in the example)
|
||||
- A resistive load device such as an incandescent light bulb (we use a 60 W one in the example) - Other load types are not desired because they do not draw a constant amount of power which will result in incorrect calibration results [e.g. Don't use switch mode driven devices such as LED lamps, computer equipment or inductive/capacitive devices such as motors]
|
||||
- *(optional)* calibrated power meter (aka Kill A Watt)

|
|||
Verify the **Voltage** reading with the multimeter and if needed change the voltage offset in V with command: <BR> `VoltageSet 235.5`<BR> *(235.5 would be replaced with your measurement which varies depending on the electrical standards and your electrical grid)*
|
||||
### Step 5
|
||||
Verify the **Current** reading by calculating current value (amperage) using formula **P<sub>(W)</sub>/I<sub>(V)</sub>=I<sub>(A)</sub>** and if needed change the current offset in *mA* (mA=A\*1000) with command:<BR> `CurrentSet 254.777`<BR> *(instead of 254.777 enter your calculation value of ***A multiplied by 1000***)*
|
||||
### Step 6
|
||||
Confirm the validity of your calibration process your indicated **Power Factor** on the WebUI of the device should be 1.00 or as close as possible to 1.00 - If it is not want to redo the calibration process to make sure everything required was completed correctly. In theory resistive loads will always provide a **Power Factor** of 1.00
