Hi ppl
I want to measure the current(AC) consumed by home appliances like Refrigerator, TV and then send the value to a microcontroller.
This is for home automation project.
For measuring current i think i can use current sensor like this https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data Sheets/CR Magnetics Inc PDFs/CR9500 Series.pdf
Is this the correct method?
If so then how do i send the value to a microcontroller.
The current sensor will send the value to the microcontroller every second. How will the microcontroller take in the value?
Can i code the microcontroller to take the input value for every second or like for every 15 seconds..Is that possible?
Thanks.
Also let me know if any other better methods are available to sense current and send toe the microcontroller.
