Power Monitoring
Voltage, current, and energy on any power source — mains, generator, battery bank, or shunt — not just solar. See what’s drawing what, and trend it.

Power Management reads your solar charge controller. Power Monitoring reads everything else — because plenty of off-grid power doesn’t come from a Victron MPPT.
What it does
- Reads any source — mains feed, generator output, a battery bank via a shunt, or an individual circuit. AC or DC.
- Measures voltage, current, and energy — instantaneous draw and accumulated kWh, per source or per circuit.
- Finds the hogs — which load is quietly eating your battery overnight, and which circuit’s draw is creeping up.
- Logs locally — every reading to your hub in open formats, no utility portal — see Your data is your data.
Hardware
Current transformers (AC) or a DC shunt feeding an OGLAS node, sized to the circuit. Multiple channels for a switchboard; a single channel for one load.
Pairs well with
- Power Management — solar production on one side, consumption on the other, in one dataset.
- Smart Switch — shed a load when battery voltage drops, or start a generator when it does.
- Engine — pair generator run-hours with the energy it actually produced.
