She checks her meter before going to bed each night to verify that it's at the expected 4 green bars. One night recently, it was well into the red. It turns out she'd left the oven on and, without the Ewgeco, almost certainly wouldn't have spotted until at least the next morning.

@Polly: They are commercially available directly from Ewgeco now, though they only have a small number of units right now as far as I'm aware. I hope they'll be more widely available very soon!

I totally agree with you, the instant feeback provided by this and similar units is great it does help.

One great use.

Fiona and I noticed a random heavy load on our meter reading the other day, and couldn't account for it. It was alarming, and I didn't want to go out the house till I'd found out what was using 1.5KW. We found that the "backup" electric water heater in out Megoflow tank had be turned on when something fell from the cupboard onto the switch. Our little meter saved us some money, that would otherwise may have gone unnoticed. We now also have replaced most of our pretty halogens with nice cold cathode replacements, 7W instead of 50W, it makes sense.

We have a smart meter, and a home meter. Smart meter by first-utility and meter from OWL. Although the later we'd like to replace with efergy Elite or E2 or better.

I have to say I like the one you have also, but it looks like it justs costs too much for me.

Been using a MK1 CurrentCost meter for about a year now, definitely good to see when and how much energy you're using. Unfortunately getting data (live only) out involves a USB-Serial cable and mucking about with telnet and baud rates.

Your My Ewgeco link in the first line has a typo /c/om/com.

Sounds really good. Will it show the waste of power when computers are left on & not used all day. What is this retailing at?

Social media really helps in building real professional relationships and earning trust with others and easy to get real followers as well.

I didn't really realize how twitter can help or promote a business, being only a consumer. But then I came across this blog, which enticed me to follow the owner on twitter, and from there I became aware of his company which sells self defense gadgets. I became interested, the only problem is geographical differences because he won't be able to ship his products in our country.

Although things are improving, I'm still really numb. How long did it take for the numbness to go away. It looks like I've had a mini stroke, although my doc said there was no damage to the nerves, but it could take as long as 8 mths to go back to norm.
