Buy the most suitable Power Meter for your Home The Modern Electricity Meter The modern power meter is totally unlike what one used only a couple of decades ago. Then the electricity meter was a very humble and practical device. It used to read one’s building’s electricity consumption up to decimals in an analogue format. The consumption was for the entire building and there was no method by which one could find out the electricity being consumed by individual appliances. The modern meter, on the other hand, is a highly sophisticated device. One can use home energy monitors and wireless electricity monitors and use these to help reduce the energy used in one’s home thereby saving money on one’s electricity bill.
Types of Electricity Meters The power meter is available today in two distinct forms. The first one is the online monitor while the second meter is known as the electricity monitor and is essentially a wireless meter. It is therefore possible for you to pick the electricity meter you like. You can check the comparison chart and find out the online or offline energy monitor that suits you the most. There are features that include data download to PC/Mac as well as the measurement of CO2 gases and your carbon footprint. Online Monitoring There are various forms of power meter of the online monitoring kind. Some of these include the engage hub solo, engage hub kit, engage e2 hub kit and engage elite hub kit. In the engage hub solo one can monitor the home energy use online and in real-time with the help of engage, the free online platform and the engage apps for Android, iPhone and the iPad. You will receive all the information you need from the platform to be able to make positive changes to your power consumption. You can therefore both monitor your power consumption as well as save energy and money. Wireless Monitoring An electricity meter such as the ecotouch has an energy management system that not only allows you to check your home electricity consumption but also switch on/off your appliances from a remote location. There is a new dot matrix screen that allows one to check one’s home energy consumption both graphically and numerically as well as download and manage one’s energy data onto one’s PC and Mac.
