I've purchased a Sonoff POW R2 (Wi-Fi switch and electricity usage monitor) but I only want to use it to monitor voltage/amps.  The problem is that if the software in the relay crashes or reboots then the relay switches off and on which kills power to my server, etc.

Here is the PCB for switch:


Here is how somebody bypassed the relay: 


...and it came from here:  http://www.linuxmediaserver.net/howto/performing-your-home-electricity-consumption-audit/

Does this look correct and safe?

I want to keep the electricity/energy monitoring, but always keep the relay active/powered so it will never turn off.
