There is no way a plug can monitor production.
Sure there is. Any regular kill-a-watt meter will do it.
News to me.
My utility meter outside shows energy flowing out of the grid and energy flowing into the grid separately. But it is unaware of energy being consumed as it it being generated.
The SunPower meter knows because of configuration being middle man between solar panels, grid and relay panel.
I've used kill-a-watt's before to measure energy consumption, it just measures the flow passing between the outlet & the device(s).
I'll have to do some testing once I get a wind turbine up and running, but I am hoping that a typical smart outlet will be capable of tracking the energy production from an inverter. As shown in the previously linked video, it is easy to monitor using a kill-a-watt (and there are even wifi hacks available), but I want an out of the box wifi enabled monitoring solution with elegant built-in tracking software.
This should be able to do it when paired with Samsung Smart Things
