Product Description:
As unobtrusive as a small electric clock, the PowerCost Monitor is a powerful real-time direct feedback display device that measures home electricity usage. It tells at a glance, in real-time, how much electricity your home is using in dollars and cents and in kW. Domestic energy usage studies have demonstrated that real-time feedback yields energy savings anywhere between 10 and 20 percent. The savings at the high end of this range are realized when a tabletop energy display device, such as the PowerCost Monitor, is used. The PowerCost Monitor technology consists of two discrete functional units: A detection unit, known as the sensor unit, is affixed to an existing household utility meter with a simple ring clamp. The sensor unit is compatible with standard North American digital and electromechanical meter types. This is the only component of the PowerCost Monitor that will be in direct physical contact with the utility's meter. The clamp mechanism allows it to be attached to the outside of the meter glass It can also be quickly attached and detached without making any changes to the existing meter. The display unit, located inside the home, receives a wireless signal from the transmitter and displays the consumption information in real time and in dollars and cents. Other information is also displayed such as time and outside temperature. Considerations before you order: The PowerCost Monitor uses a wireless signal (433 MHz) to read the information on your utility meter. This means that your utility meter must be located next to your home or within 30 meters (100 ft) of your home. The PowerCost Monitor can be easily used in a single detached dwelling, a duplex dwelling, or a row or town house. The PowerCost Monitor will not work with net metering applications such as wind and solar power, or on a business meter that uses demand pricing. + Read more.... | | | | |

Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating :  - The monitor works well and gives a good overview of the electricity usage
Got the BLI-25000 model which is the latest model than the BLI-24000 for which there seems to be lot of negative reviews.
The installation took less than 5 minutes, since I have digital meters with an LED interface, it was really easy to set up.
Once set up, the signal strength showed full strength even in the farthest corners of the house, about 200 feet through wall, from where the transmitter is located outside the house.
The display unit seems to work well for the last 4 months that I have had it, and displays changes within 4-5 seconds of switching on/off a power consuming unit. This unit also shows the time and the outside temperature, and has a cool light switch that glows the display wih a back-light for a few seconds.
All in all, this unit seems like a good investment, since it gives a good idea on the power consumption in the house on an almost instantaneous basis, making everyone in the family more aware of the lights and and energy consuming devices being unnecessarily being on.
I would definitely recommend this device. + See Full Customer Review | | | | |
