Description:
The Grove AC Voltage Sensor provides an ideal solution for accurately measuring Root Mean Square (RMS) AC voltages, making it a valuable component in DIY energy meters and smart home applications. This sensor empowers users to monitor and analyze the voltage levels of their electrical systems, contributing to energy efficiency and informed power management.
It offers adjustable gain, accommodating different voltage inputs ranging from 120V to 240V AC, making it compatible with standard household electrical systems. The sensor operates on a flexible power supply, supporting both 5V and 3.3V DC, further enhancing its versatility and compatibility with various development boards.
In the context of smart homes and the growing emphasis on sustainability, the Grove AC Voltage Sensor plays a key role in achieving energy efficiency goals. Smart homes leverage Internet of Things (IoT) technology to optimize energy consumption and resource utilization. A core principle of energy efficiency, as defined by the UN's Sustainable Goal 12, is accomplishing the same tasks with reduced energy or resource input. The RMS AC voltage sensor contributes to this goal by enabling the monitoring of different voltage inputs and providing real-time visualization of the current-voltage status of connected appliances.
