Hi all,

 

I am pretty new to Tasmota.

I have bought a few Nous A1T plugs a few days ago which are already flashed with Tasmmota.

Before i have flashed a Shelly Plug S in our office which is also our test device.

While i was doing that i was able to play around with Tasmota 12.1.1.

I have to say it is very accessible for blind people using screenreaders.

The original firmware isn't.

So great job done.

 

Now i am fighting a little bit with power calibration.

I have no meters around which could be accessible enough for me.

 

I have a Echo Dot around which uses 1.5 Watt in standby.

I also know we have 230 Volt, 50 Hz mains output in Austria.

 

Would iut be enough to enter the following into the console to get enough calibration?:

 

PowerSet 1.5

VoltageSet 230.0

 

Or is there a better idea?

I don't have old light bulbs around anymore.

Or might be a different device better for calibration?

 

Greetings and thanks,

Simon

You would be better with something like an electric heater. My 240V supply is reading 239V at the moment and if your 1.5W in standby were 1.4 or 1.6 it would give you a 6% error. I’ve calibrated 2 Sonoff devices and a Shelly 1PM using a 500W oil-filled radiator and a very accurate AVO. When I used the same radiator on an uncalibrated Shelly  the reading was almost exactly the same. Unless you need absolute accuracy for some reason it’s probably not worth calibrating

Hi,

 

No i don't need all that much accouracy.

So then i might not calibrate at all.

 

Greetings and thanks for the info,

Simon
