KinCony N60 60-Channel AC Energy Meter (LoRa®-Enabled)
Frequently Bought Together
Start your journey to smarter energy management. The KinCony N60 is the essential, entry-point smart energy monitor designed to bring professional-grade circuit-level insights to your home or small business. Powered by the ESP32-S3 and high-precision BL0910 metering ICs, it monitors 60 individual AC circuits plus overall voltage. With built-in LoRa® for wireless networking, local SD card data logging, and full smart home integration, the N10 transforms complex energy consumption into clear, actionable data for efficiency and control.
Why You'll Love This Energy Meter
✔ Achieve Professional Insights at an Entry Point:
Move beyond guessing your energy use. The N60 delivers the same high-accuracy, circuit-level monitoring found in larger professional units, making advanced energy analytics accessible and affordable.
✔ Guarantee Data Security with Local Storage:
Your detailed energy history is saved directly to the onboard SD card in a universal Excel format. This ensures you own your data, it's always accessible, and is preserved through any internet or cloud service interruption.
✔ Build or Join a Flexible Wireless Network:
The integrated LoRa module allows you to create a private, long-range, low-power wireless network for energy data, perfect for sending readings from a detached garage, outbuilding, or other areas with poor Wi-Fi coverage.
✔ Plug-and-Play with Your Smart Home:
Works seamlessly with major platforms. Integrate effortlessly into Home Assistant via MQTT auto-discovery (zero configuration), connect to Apple HomeKit for Siri control, or use the feature-rich KCS v3 firmware for local automation rules and cloud dashboards.
✔ A Foundation for Custom Energy Projects:
The open programming environment (Arduino IDE, MicroPython, ESP-IDF) turns the N60 into a development platform. Create custom alerts, build unique efficiency dashboards, or integrate energy data directly into your own applications.
Among other outstanding features are the following:
-
Targeted 60-Channel Monitoring: Perfectly sized for tracking key circuits like HVAC, major appliances, or workshop equipment, providing clear visibility into your primary energy consumers.
-
High-Accuracy Measurement Core: Utilizes the industrial-grade BL0910 energy metering IC with 2000:1 CT clamps for reliable, professional-grade data on voltage, current, power, and energy consumption.
-
Data Resilience & Ownership: Features non-volatile flash to retain total energy data and an SD card slot to autonomously log detailed hourly consumption reports in Excel format-your data, stored locally and securely.
-
Versatile Connectivity Suite: Offers multiple integration paths: Wi-Fi and Ethernet for network data, LoRa for long-range wireless networks, and RS-485 for industrial communication protocols.
-
Modern Platform with Expansion: Built on the powerful ESP32-S3 platform with an I2C extender and free GPIOs, ready to add temperature sensors, humidity monitors, or even a 4G module for remote access.
