Hi,
Does anybody know a good source for buying an IoTaWatt in Australia, or anybody that will ship to Australia?
I think SmartGuys has them (or used to) - but they’re out of stock on their website:
Also, from other reports here it seems something is up or something’s come up, as they’re not responding to emails, or have been hard to get a hold of?
Thanks,
Victor
CircuitIQ in Canada will ship internationally.
Oh nice - I can check them out!
However, it says “Power monitoring system for 120V single-phase Mains” - I’m in Australia, where we use 220V.
Does that make a difference with the main unit? Or are they the same hardware, and I just need to get a different wall AC adapter for the USB power input?
I bought from them early this year. No replies or acknowledgement.
Decided to risk it using a credit card just in case I needed to claim against the order. Arrived in less than a week.
If you can afford to be without the funds for a few months in case of problems it’s probably worth a shot.
Looks like they don’t stock it anymore 
I didn’t realise how lucky I was in June last year to not only order an iotawatt from Smart Guys, and receive it, but also get a reply from them about stock of CT clamps. I knew then I’d likely need a second eventually but wasn’t sure… and now I seem to be out of luck 
I’m about to order the v5.0 PCB (from the Github repo) from JLPCB along with the components as best I can find them on DigiKey/Amazon. The MOQ on the PCB is 5 units… so I will build up the 1st one and then (if it works fine) make the remaining 4 available for interested parties in Australia. Taking EOI now 
For reference, I am using the BOM and case from this topic as groundwork, so if this works out, just about all the credit should be going to overeasy and sandblech.
Firmware looks like it is building fine with some help from a few straggling notes scattered around the forums.
PS: Not looking to make any profit…. just want to help fellow Aussie HomeAssistant enthusiasts that struggle to find decent DIY energy measurement hardware/systems in Aus. Will post pricing once I have ordered stuff, but it is looking like it might be around $60 - $70 per unit.
I’ve been ratting around (in Australia) for a decent home energy monitor! Will message you.
Status Update: First prototype PCB completely built up and working up to the point of Wifi connectivity (constant dull green LED).
Just waiting for my 100A Current Clamp CT’s and 9v AC adapter to arrive before I can install and fully test.
The built up PCB Assembly will be ~AUD90/unit.
I reckon people can order the CT clamps and 9Vac adaptor themselves.All in all you should be able to have a 12-sensor system installed for ~ AUD 250.
Fun fact (for those not-so-keen-eyed): I placed the SD card holder the wrong way around, 
… could resolve this by inserting the SD card before soldering the RTC crystal… effectively locking the SD in place. Obviously not a workable final solution, but I will rectify this in the next batch of PCB’s.
I’m interested. I really need a second unit, I am using cat6 to extend my CT clamps for the second building but I’d rather run Ethernet over that instead of my CT signals and having to use a wireless extender 
I’m in Tasmania, please DM me when you have units available.
If anyone is after a iotawatt I ended up with 2 (I’m in Brisbane) but only ended up using 1 on my new build. Message me if you want to buy one off me and save the international postage. Ben
I am interested. i will shoot you a dm. i am also in brisbane
I cant DM you as for some reason there is a 1 hour cool down timer between posts. @overeasy whats with that? i reply to a post, and then go to send a DM and am met with the below. it happened a few weeks ago too, but i thought it was a glitch.
I have a new and unused Iotawatt unit with 14 50a CT clamps that i bought and never ended up using. If anyone is interested, please DM me.
Project Complete.
I have 3x units available.
Note:These are Homebrew PCBs based off of @overeasy’s v5.1 design… the only change being a push-push SD card holder.
These are all in OG IotaWatt v5.1 Enclosures (thanks @overeasy !!).
Willing to ship anywhere in Aus (tracked Auspost parcel) @ AUD 105/unit. Each unit will be shipped with an SD card fitted, and CR1220 battery (not fitted).
All units are able to connect to Wifi and I can confirm that 1 unit from this batch is running perfectly with 12 CTs in my home.
Interested parties welcom to DM or email (address more or less visible on blue PCB in earlier posts) me.
Update: I’m all out (Thanks for the support, guys!)
I am considering doing another run of 20 or 25 units, but I would need to print enclosures as well since the current distributor isn’t too keen on homebrew IotaWatt units being sold in OG branded enclosures… understandable, I guess.
Once I have designed new enclosure and get a manufacturing price, I will advertise on this forum again to guage interest before I order PCB’s, parts and enclosures.
Mind you, it will be mostly aimed at the Aussie market.
