500A Smart Shunt for Home Assistant
- The INA237 component for ESPHome is currently in development and testing here: https://github.com/vdbxio/ina237
A 500 amp smart shunt for DC power systems up to 60v. It is based on our FLIP-C3 mainboard and power center running ESPHome for seamless integration with Home Assistant out of the box. An on board 45w NPN MOSFET can power fans, LED strips, or control external relays based on automations in Home Assistant. Also keep an eye on the ambient temp/humidity of your control box with the onboard sensor and catch potential issues with the on-die temp sensor of the analog-to-digital converter IC.
Unlike our competitors, this is your hardware and it is fully hackable. Extend it further with ESPHome, Tasmota or your own custom Arduino or ESP-IDF code.
