The default choice for a Dubai villa, because it measures all three phases and most villas here are three phase at 400V. A single-phase meter fitted to a three-phase board tells you about a third of the story, which is the most common mistake in this category. The 3EM Gen3 sits inside the distribution board with current-transformer clamps around the incoming conductors and reports live consumption to the Shelly app over Wi-Fi, with no hub in between. Measurement is four quadrant, so it tracks both import and export, which matters if solar is fitted now or later. What you get in exchange is a number that updates every second instead of one number a month from DEWA. That is the whole argument for a monitor: a DEWA bill tells you what the property used, not what used it, and it arrives too late to change anything. With live data you can switch something off and watch the reading fall, which is the only honest way to confirm a change saved money. Fitting means opening a live distribution board and clamping around incoming phase conductors, so it is a licensed electrician's job.

Most Dubai villas are supplied at three phase 400V, and the loads are usually spread across the phases, so a single-phase meter on such a board reports a fraction of the property and reads low in a way that is easy to misinterpret. This unit covers all three. Cooling dominates a UAE electricity bill for most of the year, and seeing the total climb the moment the AC starts is usually the first thing a client learns from it. A DEWA bill gives one figure for the property with no breakdown, so this is the device that turns that figure into something you can act on. Installation means working inside a live distribution board, which is a licensed electrician's job in the UAE, and we survey the board first because clamp fit depends on the incoming cable size and the space around the main switch.
