• Active overload protection with persistent internal error counters.
  • Includes voltage, current and temperature.
• Configurable power limit.
• Bootloader & Firmware update support.
  • Source code on Github
• Programmable via the Module RESTful API
  • Supports fan control, voltage, current, temperature and limit values.
  • Simple programming example (Python)
• Official openHAB plugin

Hardware

• Additional passive (“analog”) overload protection in case of firmware failure.
• Integrated Noctua™ fan with PWM control and RPM measurement.
  • Cools power supply components and the Raspberry Pi Compute Module.
• Uses a state-of-the-art, ultra EMI-reduced Silent Switcher®2 PMC from AD.
• Integrated temperature sensors.
• Visual load indication in 10% increments.
• Large temperature range -30°C – 70°C.
