Key differences between NodOn Zigbee Smart Energy Monitor and Zemismart SDM01

A summary of selected recorded differences between these energy monitors. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices
  • Usage Alerts (data monitoring): NodOn Zigbee Smart Energy Monitor — No (Not a native NodOn feature. Usage alerts are built in the home automation platform from the readings.); Zemismart SDM01 — Yes (Alarm messages for abnormal or unbalanced load).
  • Load Management (features): NodOn Zigbee Smart Energy Monitor — Yes (NodOn lists load shedding on overconsumption among the meter's uses, driven by its readings | The switching itself is done by the compatible gateway or home automation system, not by the meter, which has no relay); Zemismart SDM01 — No.
  • SmartThings (integrations): NodOn Zigbee Smart Energy Monitor — Yes (NodOn lists SmartThings among the compatible gateways for this model, so it pairs with a SmartThings hub as a standard Zigbee 3.0 device); Zemismart SDM01 — No.
  • Three Phase (metering): NodOn Zigbee Smart Energy Monitor — No; Zemismart SDM01 — Yes.
Specifications to check side by side
  • Real Time Updates (data monitoring): NodOn Zigbee Smart Energy Monitor — Yes (NodOn advertises real-time monitoring of voltage, current, power and energy but publishes no reporting interval for this model); Zemismart SDM01 — 5 s.
  • Power Supply (installation): NodOn Zigbee Smart Energy Monitor — Mains (110-240 V); Zemismart SDM01 — Mains (120-240 V).
  • Monitored Circuits (metering): NodOn Zigbee Smart Energy Monitor — 1 (One 1P+N circuit: the line is wired through the meter's own terminals and the neutral passes alongside, so it meters a single circuit up to 63 A); Zemismart SDM01 — 3 (Three phases, or three single-phase circuits).
Information still to confirm
  • 9 of 39 comparison fields lack a resolved value for at least one selected device. Missing information is not evidence that a feature is absent.
  • Check the full table and manufacturer documentation before ruling out a device.

These observations are derived from recorded catalog data and have not all been independently verified. Confirm details with the manufacturer before purchasing.
