Hi
You can use the DTK electronics wireless units that convert RS485 to USB to link to the CCGX
or raspi units.
I used these models from a Ebay supplier DRF2658C USB unit and the DRF2659C RS485 unit
all worked OK. No issues as i have AC sensor in my switch board some distance away.
Is this what you are after?

Hi @Bendel
The 'AC Current sensor' is only for a connection close-by, for longer distances you'll need a 'grid meter', this can be connected by cable or wireless

You'll need a Venus device also with this, but I assume you already have one (planned).
Thank you, why do i Need a Venus device ?
Just for visualiazation or is it needed for Communication Grid Meter with MultiPlus II
Have a Nice day.
Best regards Norbert
