I use one to monitor my hws diverter. But it didn’t cost me anything

Was also thinking of ripping the guts out of a Gosund plug. Hopefully the CT is an actual coil I can pass the 6mm live through.
Mount it in a small box under the floor.
Basically cut the ASHP cable. Then join back together with 3 way WAGO 32A joins.
Tap off L+N to power the plug. Then thread the feed through the CT.
Ignoring the actual switch and relay as these are only 16A rated just using the monitor bits.
For a fiver may just do what I need.
May work.
Shame these darm plugs are moulded and not easily opened.
This uses a CT rather than being whole current. It can switch a very small load - so a contactor.

anglefire similar to the 8 way emporia. But shelly at least has good HA integration.
Shame they dont make smaller CTs.
If they were half this size I could get them side by side in the CU

TheDragon (GivEnergy) I'm not sure of the spec of the CT's - but I suspect they are standard 1:50 or 5:50 (for the 50A one) and therefore any off the shelf one would work which you can get small ones.
