How to measure "overall" energy usage in older houses?

Hi - fairly new Homey Pro user here.

I would REALLY like to measure / track the energy usage in my house but my meter does not have ports like P1 etc. The meter is Echelon 83331-3iaad

Is it still possible for me to start tracking the overall usage and if so, what sensors do I need?

You could possibly use something with a clamp like this Zigbee Smart Energy Meter,Tuya Zigbee for Smart Life Energy Meter 80A With 2 Clamp Ct Smart Home Energy Monitor,Remote Control(B) : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

I’m not sure if that specific one is supported in Homey, but I have one from LightWave that I used to use before I got my solar inverter.

This one appears to be supported by Homey:

You could also use an optical smart meter like the Frient EMI. Just attach its sensor to the LED indicators on your meter, and it will track the light pulses to calculate your power usage accurately.

They are showing the exact meter you have at home, the Echelon 83331-3iaad, in their product pictures. It is a Danish company :wink:
