I created a custom case for a Sonoff switch to monitor energy consumption while charging an electric vehicle. It's particularly useful for charging at unmetered outlets or at hotels/guesthouses without dedicated EV charging stations, as long as the owners permit EV charging.

Components Used:
- Plastic cable gland  
- M4 screws and M4 nuts  
- 220V plug  
- 220V socket with cover  
- Electrical cables  

Build Details:
- The Sonoff switch is secured inside the case using a plastic glue gun, allowing for easy removal by detaching the glue.  
- The model requires no additional supports during 3D printing and was printed using Pineapple Yellow Prusament PLA.  

Updates and Adjustments (as of 13.08.2023):  
- Two nuts near the Sonoff unit need to be sawed down by about half (or more) for proper fitting. I used a small grinder, and the adjustment took less than a minute.  

Connectivity:
To enable wireless functionality, the switch is configured to connect to a hotspot created by my phone. This setup ensures independence from the accommodation's WiFi network.
