In this article we will look at setting up your Shelly 3EM meter and integrating it with your Wattics platform to have access to your equipment energy usage at your fingertips.

Your Shelly 3EM meter provides you with a simple way to monitor your energy usage across each of three phases on any given circuit – looking both at produced and consumed energy. The device can transmit data via any WiFi network and can be controlled from your laptop, tablet or phone. It is possible to customise your device to track sunlight hours; abide by daily/weekly schedules; or be sensitive to energy usage thresholds, meaning that the device itself switches off when not required, or it can switch off circuits if they have exceeded their consumption limits*
