What Is IAMMETER: Energy Management Platform for Home, Business, and Industry

IAMMETER Quick Start Guide

(Your all-in-one guide to quickly start monitoring and optimizing your energy system)


1. What Is IAMMETER

IAMMETER is a Wi-Fi energy monitoring and management platform for homeowners, businesses, and industrial users. It not only tracks power usage but also helps customers optimize energy utilization — such as maximizing solar self-consumption and reducing electricity costs through smarter power management.

With IAMMETER, you can:

  • Track power, voltage, current, and energy (kWh) in real time
  • Monitor solar PV generation and grid interaction
  • Use surplus solar energy for heating or EV charging
  • Integrate with smart home and industrial control systems

Core Components

Component Description
IAMMETER-Cloud Free cloud platform for energy monitoring and analysis
IAMMETER Wi-Fi Energy Meters Hardware devices (single-phase, three-phase, split-phase)
Power Controller A device capable of linearly adjusting the power of resistive loads, such as boilers or heaters. It can dynamically regulate load power based on grid export readings to utilize solar surplus energy. It can be controlled by IAMMETER meters or integrated into Home Assistant and Node-RED systems.WPC3700
Open Integrations Connect with Home Assistant, Node-RED, MQTT, Modbus, and custom APIs

2. Identify Your Electrical System

Before installation, determine your electrical system type to select the right meter.

System Type Typical Use Recommended Model
Single-phase Homes, small loads WEM3080
Three-phase,Split-phase (North America) Industrial, commercial buildings, and residential solar PV WEM3080T / WEM3046T / WEM3050T

All IAMMETER meters support bidirectional measurement (import/export power), ideal for solar PV applications.


3. Three-Phase Meters Overview: Choose the Right Model for Your Needs

IAMMETER provides three types of three-phase Wi-Fi energy metersWEM3080T, WEM3046T, and WEM3050T.
All of them share the same core capabilities:

  • Bidirectional metering — measures both imported and exported energy
  • Supports single-phase, split-phase, and three-phase (3P4W) systems
  • Open communication interfaces: HTTP, Modbus/TCP, and MQTT

Although their measurement performance is similar, the target users, bundled accessories, and included IAMMETER-Cloud services differ across models.

Model Recommended For Cloud Service Documents Notes
WEM3050T3050T Home users, DIY installers, solar PV hobbyists IAMMETER-Cloud Basic (Free) Datasheet
Quickstart
The package includes one meter and three split-core CTs (150A, 16mm). Can be upgraded to IAMMETER-Cloud Pro (optional, $60 / 5 years).
WEM3080T3 phase energy monitor Enterprise or advanced monitoring systems (up to 500A per channel) IAMMETER-Cloud Pro (Included) Datasheet
Quickstart
The package includes one meter and three split-core CTs. Available CT options: 150A (16mm), 250A (24mm), 500A (36mm). CTs are shipped together with the meter and are not user-replaceable.
WEM3080TD (Three-phase, 3-wire)WEM3080TD Enterprise or delta (3-wire) systems (up to 500A per channel) IAMMETER-Cloud Pro (Included) Quickstart Designed for three-phase, 3-wire (delta) systems. The package includes one meter and two split-core CTs (150A, 16mm).
WEM3046T3 phase energy monitor Commercial or industrial energy monitoring (supports 5A CT output) IAMMETER-Cloud Pro (Included) Datasheet
Quickstart
The package includes only the meter, without CTs. Supports external 5A secondary CTs (e.g., 1000:5, 2000:5), allowing flexible high-current measurement.
WEM3046TE Commercial or industrial monitoring (double-CT application) IAMMETER-Cloud Pro (Included) Datasheet
Quickstart
The package includes the meter + one 5A split-core CT, which clamps on the secondary output line of the primary CT. Designed for dual-CT measurement scenarios.

Important Notes:

  • All IAMMETER-Cloud Basic features are free and available to every user.
  • Pro features (advanced reports, API access, data export, etc.) are included at no extra cost for WEM3080T and WEM3046T users.
  • Only WEM3050T users need to upgrade manually if they wish to access IAMMETER-Cloud Pro features.

Summary:

If you are a home or solar PV enthusiast, choose WEM3050T — compact, affordable, and paired with IAMMETER-Cloud Basic (free forever).

If you are a commercial or industrial user, choose WEM3046T or WEM3080T — both come with IAMMETER-Cloud Pro included, providing advanced analytics and integration capabilities at no extra cost.


4. Choose Your Application Scenario

Scenario Description Example
Energy Consumption Monitoring Track usage, cost, and peak demand Monitor the energy consumption of a single phase system in IAMMETER-cloud
Solar PV Monitoring Measure grid import/export and self-consumption Monitor solar pv and grid consumption in IAMMETER-cloud
Monitor your Solar PV System
Solar Surplus Optimization Automatically control loads (e.g., water heater, EV) using solar surplus PV Heater Controller (WPC3700)

5. Select How You Want to Use IAMMETER

System / Platform Description Difficulty Cost
IAMMETER-Cloud (Basic) Free cloud service for monitoring & reports Easy Free
IAMMETER-Cloud (Pro) Adds advanced analytics & API access Easy WEM3080T, WEM3046T, and WEM3080 come with Pro service included. No extra charge for users. WEM3050T includes Basic service by default; upgrade to Pro for $60 / 5 years (optional).
IAMMETER-Docker / IAMMETER-Central Self-hosted version for enterprise users Medium Free
