Tiny 3-phase power meter

A very tiny ESP8266 based PCB to monitor your apartments / homes power consumption using CT clamps and report the reading to Home Assistant using ESPHome!

Credits

As for all my PCBs: Huge thanks to Quindor from QuinLED.info and also the folks from #pcb-design-talk on his Discord server! Would not have been able to do anything without these people!!

Questions

How big is the Tiny power meter PCB?

It measures 27.5 × 28.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tiny power meter use?

19 parts, built around the ESP-07, AMS1117-3.3 and CD4051BE. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Tiny power meter KiCad files?

From the ezcGman/tiny-power-meter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Tiny-Power-Meter.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Tiny-Power-Meter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tiny power meter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ezcGman before reusing the design.
