Can cerbro measure external heat source?

I have a setup where I use inverters to heat water for the house and a coal water heater that turns on when water gets below a certain level.

I know the power of the coal heater and would like to measure the on-time of this heater so that I could calculate the "exact" consumption of the house in the winter.

Can Cerbo do this kind of measurement, or do you know something that could do that?

Cerbo GX can use temperature sensor. The chip inside victron sensor is LM335 i think so anything with that should work.


Some other pages on the forum discussing it:
