I will try to make a video in the near future, I made a part two of this video comparing different loads, here is the link to it. ua-cam.com/video/DyN4tn9v8zA/v-deo.html
Very useful, I wanted to measure the quiescent current of Sonoff. As per your wattmeter, it is 0.6W or so. The wattmeter is correct in my opinion, Sonoff is more of internet controlled switch, the measurement on it may be off, when using LED bulbs etc, they consume non linear current which Sonoff may not be be able to sample and measure accurately. If Sonoff consumes 3W (which, lets argue may be due to relay), it will burn the relay instantly. 3W is a big power.
You can try maybe to do a correct reading by measuring whit a Multimeter the real current drawn by the bulb, than calculate the real power it is consuming. That commercial measuring devices wont show identical consumption if you try 5 of the same model.
The hole is for the temperature sensor for TH10 and TH16. on this particular device the hole is empty. Since it is the exact same case for the three devices
you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last few months :)
James Holbrook Well, here in Holland ( Europe) we have 230v over a single phase and 400 over a 3 phase system. I kind of was thinking that in the US 240 volt was 3 phase
You could just plug the sonoff and turn it on/off without load to see the consumption of the sonoff alone.
Thanks for the video :-)

I made a video showing power consumption of the sonoff here is the link

MadeEasy awesome thanks :-)

Thanks for the demo, but for a better test for the accuracy, could you put on at least a 100W or a 1000W load? e.g. a kettle?

Would be good to measure the difference on a heavier load...
Edwin van Dalen thank you for great suggestion, I'll try to make a video sometime in the future!
I made a video with 2 different loads today, here is the link
Sonoff Pow Review #2

What's the purpose of the hole on the left? 😲
The hole is for the temperature sensor for TH10 and TH16. on this particular device the hole is empty. Since it is the exact same case for the three devices
Did you used a calibrated meter?
Can you test them with a multimeter? to find which one is accurate?
Can the program be adjusted to match the watt meter?
1:10 could you please tell me the exact name and model of the current sensor ?
found out ... its HLW8012

Great Job !!
very good demo
I LIKED IT, but i'm not gonna tell you why
hint: it answered some deep questions i had about this gadget
you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last few months :)
@Hassan Harrison definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)
thx
Did he said 1 horsepower at 0:49? LOL
In deference to the US market. ;)
Does anyone know if you can use it with 240v US
James Holbrook Yes you can. But ofcourse it need to be single phase. The rated input voltage is 90-250 volt.
gabsmit so basically no
James Holbrook Well, here in Holland ( Europe) we have 230v over a single phase and 400 over a 3 phase system. I kind of was thinking that in the US 240 volt was 3 phase
240 is not 3 phase but it is 2 legs of 3 phase so we get 120v from a live wire to neutral and 240v from 2 live wires that are out of phase
Thats a bit weird. Here we have 230v from 1 phase to neutral and 400v between 2 phases. It’s not 460 like in Your situation.
Why do you touching wires !??!?!?!?!
I was careful, but it was not smart of me
So , Sonoff totally not correct !!
very good demo
