EnergyMe @ Maker Faire Rome 2026 — Gazometro Ostiense
MAKER FAIREROME2026
The European Edition
October 23–25, 2026 · Gazometro Ostiense, Rome EnergyMe is here · Can You See Your Energy?

"Can you see your energy?"

Don't just see your energy.
Take it apart.

EnergyMe Home doesn't stop at a number on a screen. It splits your panel channel by channel and, soon, appliance by appliance, until you know exactly what every device is pulling.

The device

One board. Sixteen circuits.

EnergyMe Home is a DIN-rail energy monitor that measures 16 channels from a single compact unit, each one individually calibrated to 1% accuracy. It runs local-first, speaks native Home Assistant, and it is fully open source, hardware and firmware. Star it, fork it, tear it apart on GitHub.

What's on the stand

01

Where we started

A row of old PCBs, from the first oversized prototypes to today's tight, optimized layout. Same idea, a lot fewer square centimeters. The honest version of "we figured it out as we went."

On the table in front of you, pick them up and compare the sizes.

The panel on the table

A DIN rail with one EnergyMe Home, its clamps and a row of switches, wired just like a home panel. Flip a circuit and the tablet next to it reacts instantly. Here is the same idea with a few typical loads: a 200 W incandescent bulb, 3 to 5 W LED lamps, a 1600 W hairdryer and some wall sockets.

Flip the switches on the rail and watch the tablet move.

The full picture

The screen shows the EnergyMe portal: the same data as a dashboard, broken down per channel, with history and trends. Where raw watts become something you actually read.

Watch the screen: the install video shows how it goes into a real panel, the dashboard shows what you get.

EnergyMe Intelligence

It already knows your fridge

All that per-channel, high-frequency data feeds EnergyMe Intelligence, our load-recognition layer. It doesn't just measure a circuit, it names what's on it, with no extra sensors on the appliance.

Our fridge model is already running: it picks the compressor out from its sharp inrush peak and the steady, repeating cycle, exactly the pattern below.

A real capture from the portal: the compressor cycles on and off on a steady rhythm, with a sharp inrush spike at each start.
