"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.

From the first MCEM prototypes to the compact board and the Industry three-phase unit.
02

The living panel

A real electrical panel wired with one EnergyMe Home and a handful of loads: a 200 W incandescent bulb, 3 to 5 W LED lamps, a 1600 W hairdryer, and a few wall sockets for chargers and small devices. Switch anything on and the monitor beside it reacts instantly.

Flip the switches on the panel and watch the first monitor move.

The full picture

The second monitor 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.

Look at the second screen, that dashboard is running on the panel next to you.

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.
