Current Cost Moniter

By Julie Locke on Apr 4, 09 09:33 PM


We have just installed a current cost moniter to help us reduce our elctricity costs.

It is simple to install, you have a meter which plugs into an electric socket and it them wirelessly connects to a measuring device which fits onto the wall near the electricity meter. There is a bit if difficulty at one point where you have to get the two devices to 'talk' to each other.

The device shows you how much electricity we are using, 429 watts at the moment and as you switch off devices it goes down and down. It also gives you a simple block diagram on how much electrcity you used on the previous day.

Even better we plugged the box into our BT router and it then registered on the Dehams website to see our electricity consumption online. On the site you can see lots of graphs and find out lots more about your electricity usage.
