I have an amateur radio station that runs on DC power, and would like to stick the volts/amps/watts/etc into Home Assistant. I have https://powerwerx.com/watt-meter-analyzer-inline-dc-powerpole which is good for looking at but does not appear to have support for data collection. I can't be the first one wanting to do this, but there's no obvious hits on web searches. What are other folks doing? (Please don't say webcam - OCR - MQTT, please)

I would go for something like this. Put it in a little box (or even inside the radio if there's room)

The radio station power network is something like this: there's an AC->DC power supply, a connection for a battery charger and a solar panel (battery needs replacing and windstorm ate my panel), the watt meter above, and a patch panel which currently powers a radio, a tuner, a mini PC, and a monitor. My goal at least for now is to insert something between the watt meter and patch panel. That sensor might work, I will take a look.

If you want to measure ac power you can also get something like an emporia Vue or shelly EM with clamps

I've looked at them for other project ideas, but the sweet spot for the station is between the sources (AC or battery or solar) and the sinks (the patch panel)
Though that sensor is inexpensive enough that if it did work I could put one on the solar panel and battery inputs as well as after the watt meter, hmm.
