Introducing WEM3050T

WEM3050T

The WEM3050T, released by IAMMETER in August 2023, is a 3-phase Wi-Fi energy meter that supports both three-phase and split-phase electrical systems. With its compact 2P design—similar to the WEM3080—the WEM3050T provides versatile and affordable energy monitoring for residential and small commercial users.

It comes with a built-in Wi-Fi module, enabling easy integration with both IAMMETER-Cloud and third-party open-source platforms. By default, each unit includes IAMMETER-Cloud Basic Service, which is free for lifetime use and sufficient for most individual or home energy monitoring applications.
