The 25A Sonoff POWR3 relay with metering switches the electric water heater on only during the hours you choose, high-power models included; the POWCT meter on the main line watches the whole house's consumption and switches the heater off before the meter's limit is exceeded. Over Wi-Fi, from the eWeLink app, installation by an electrician.
What it does
- The POWR3 is fitted on the water heater line and switches it on and off, up to 25A, while measuring its consumption.
- From the eWeLink app you schedule the time slots when the water heater should heat, for example during the cheapest hours or before shower time.
- The POWCT, with the current transformer on the main conductor, measures consumption for the whole house.
- With a scene, if the total goes above the threshold set close to the contract power, the water heater switches off and comes back on when consumption drops.
- The water heater's own thermostat stays active and keeps controlling the temperature.
- The history shows how much energy the water heater takes each day.

Before you order
Do you need a hub?
No. The Sonoff devices in the kit are Wi-Fi and connect straight to the home router on the 2.4 GHz network; they are managed from the eWeLink app. Good Wi-Fi coverage is needed where the consumer unit is, and metal enclosures and cellars cut it down.
Does it work with Alexa, Google or Apple?
The kit is managed from the eWeLink app, with consumption charts and scenes. Through the eWeLink skill and integration, the relays can also be controlled from Alexa and Google Home. Energy readings and consumption-based automations are best kept in the eWeLink app.
Do you need an electrician?
Yes. The devices are fitted in the consumer unit or on 230V lines: the work must be done by qualified personnel with the system isolated. The kit includes an enclosure, wire ferrules and connectors for tidy wiring.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The devices keep measuring and the relays can still be operated with their own button. From the eWeLink app on the home network, LAN mode allows some local control as stated by the manufacturer; notifications, cloud scenes and access from outside the home resume when the line is back.
Can I add more devices?
Yes. In the same eWeLink app you can add more metering relays, smart plugs and Sonoff switches. Write to us from the contact page if you would like a kit built around your own consumer unit. Every extra device is paired with the same guided procedure in the app.
Do I need to buy any batteries?
No. Every device in the kit runs off mains power and uses no batteries. So there are no spares to keep at home and no charge levels to check: if the power goes off, the devices stop and start again on their own when it comes back.
Does the water heater run out of hot water?
Not if time slots are enough: the POWR3 switches the water heater on at the set times and its own thermostat holds the temperature. If it is shed because consumption is too high, the water heater restarts once the house drops back below the threshold. The time slots can be changed from the app at any time.
What if a product is out of stock on Amazon?
It happens, especially with multipacks and newly released products. Write to us from the contacts section with the kit code and the product you can't find: we'll point you to an alternative that fits the rest of the kit, so it keeps working as described.
Why buy on Amazon?
We put the kit together and tested it ourselves, picking the parts and checking that they work together. Purchase, payment, returns and warranty are handled by Amazon: delivery times, returns and warranty are shown on Amazon at the time of purchase, item by item.
