Inexpensive wireless voltage/current/watt-hour monitor

[zac]

This device works fairly well.  Downsides are it doesn't include a dc-dc converter to self power from the high voltage input and the included radio transceiver has a range of about 1 meter (rather than the claimed 10)

But, it uses the nRF24L01 radio transceiver chip so the radio module can be swapped with this to extend the range to at least 100 meters:

If you know of a pin compatible drop-in replacement that works at lower frequency (915, 433, 315 mhz, etc.), please let me know.

I got a few as well (3 in use), works great, just a few days ago managed to connect to with Arduino and now with Raspberry pi, planing to make a better GUI for all 3 in 1 3.5" pi display.
First I was snooping the SPI init to see hows the NRF24 gets initiated and whats being transmitted, got a lots of info, once I got the RX_ADDRESS the rest was easy with RF24 lib available for Linux Pi and Arduino

Code:

RX_ADDR_P0=89674523  -> 08 is the channel

The poor range is due to the fake cheap NRF chip and many missing component from the RF side, once I replaced it with a good quality module its works as expected.

If anyone playing with one of this I got mode commands for it so it can be controlled with pretty much anything.
Lats byte is checksum, basically the sum of all bytes last byte.
ie: aa0568085a79 = aa+05+68+08+5a = 0x0179 = 79
