Can I use the LinkZB / LinkPro just as a smart device to monitor how much I'm exporting and how much I consumed or purchased from the grid?

Our LinkZB and LinkPro devices don't replace the need for a smart meter. They can curtail inverters without a smart meter, but the curtailment is based on an estimated )or preset value of) household consumption. So if your solar inverter has a consumption meter installed you will be able to see your Home Consumption, your Grid Imports and your Solar Production in the app. We also have placeholders for Battery and EV on our app with some early battery integrations available. Only a smart meter allows us to read the household consumption frequently (e.g. every 15seconds) to adjust the curtailment to the precise household energy consumption. We are developing Zigbee capability in the LinkPro product which is expected to be released in 2024 that will allow customers in Victoria to achieve zero export control without the need to install a meter such as the Fronius smart meter. We will connect to the existing utility meter via Zigbee to retrieve consumption data.
