Tips for a more efficient use of CT channels?

Out of curiosity, I graphed an output of the difference between the legs on the EV charger, and it came out to a single wh for the day, so that seems pretty insignificant!

I would say that is evidence that the neutral is not in play and you can use one CT with double checked. You can make the same observations with any other 240 circuit where you have two CTs. I would not bother with an output, just plot the two over a period of a day or more and observe if the two plots lie exactly over one another and see if the Wh integration shown in the statistics tab are the same.

You can see some other variations on using splitters in this post:

All CT's configured in the same direction - some show reverse - explained

I know this is an old post, but I had the exact same question which brought me to this post. It may be worth making it a sticky or mentioning something about this in a documents/installation page. This is just my perfectionist coming through to make the app settings look neat Thank you @overeasy for the explanation! Edit: I did look at the Configuring Power Channels (CTs) — IoTaWatt 02_03_20 documentation page but your explanation above explains the orientation perfectly!
