Log/monitor when current goes through Shelly 1

  • Hi,

    I own some Shelly 1 and was hoping I could use them for the scenario below, without having to buy newer/better models.

    I have my Shelly 1 connected to a power socket, where a cooking hob is plugged. I would like to know how often the hob is used. I don't need to know the power consumption but more "is the cooking hob used everyday?".

    The Shelly 1 is always ON, it is never turned off so monitoring the state of the output is not an option.

    If that helps I can use internal logs, MQTT, Home assistant....

    Thanks

  • Die to the fact the Shelly 1 doesn’t contain any means for measuring current, your issue isn’t solvable. Sorry!
