I have :thumbup:
What I want now is one of these monitors, which is remote, that is, the display is inside the house, not in the mains inlet outside, with witch much of the sums are done and can show you are currently using £XX amount right now.
The idea is to try and change the little ones attitude to leaving lights and other equipment on when not in use.
We will make a competion out of it with a prize for them lol
well I suppose it depends on how much detail you want. Most manufacturers can provide details of power levels in high flow and quiescent currents. And to make that a comprehensive thing would require a monitor on each device, or possibly each ring main etc.
Okay it's always worth demoing something for the kids. It might create an interest and such like for them. But mine looked at one for a few seconds and then some months later it got binned. that was a free one from the electricity company. the free light bulbs have been useful.
So if you can get one free, and you usually can by asking about.
I would invest the funds in motion sensor lighting.
