Product Information

You can still determine the energy usage of certain appliances by looking for spikes in your power consumption when you have electricity-hungry devices running, but this isn't always accurate.

Have a look in there and see what kind of wires you’re working with. It might look like a tangled mess, but at this point we’re just looking for a white wire or group of wires; this is the neutral wire which is necessary to install most types of smart light switches. Make sure the white wire(s) is there and you’re ready for the next step. Asides from proper calibration, two other useful features to have are a built-in display and being able to input your energy unit price directly into the monitor. Having these features ensures you to get a direct reading on how much something costs to run. This can save you from having to do more maths, always a plus. Many-for-one Device Sharing: This sharing feature enables members to co-manage devices so each room they occupy is a tailor-made environment perfect for them.- Set Appliance Timers: Set timers on all our Google Home and Alexa Accessories to arrange schedules around your daily routine. The MAXCIO app renders your home a truly intelligent entity. Both devices can help you to see how much power you're using and how to reduce your energy consumption.While manufacturers and the team at Which? can calculate average running costs on certain appliances, the actual cost you pay depends on a multitude of other factors unique to your usage, your home and your energy contract.

With a smart meter, you don't have to take manual meter readings and report them to your energy provider as the meter will do this automatically. Getting readings this way can help you determine whether it's worth using something in longer, larger uses. It can also show you the difference in modes like a lower-temperature wash, eco or economy modes, and so on. Electricity suppliers are often required to provide you with a smart meter as a way of reporting your usage, so you don't need to submit manual readings for your bills. You can hook up and measure almost anything that uses electricity, as long as it has a three-pronged UK plug. This includes single devices such as a kettle, washing machine, or electric oven. Power monitors can also measure how much energy several different electronics use through a power strip, such as a TV and speaker setup or a desktop computer with multiple screens. With energy monitors, you can get a more precise measurement of energy usage and cost per individual electronic device.Save Money and the Environment. You can easily view your lights’ electricity consumption and monitor how much it’s costing you. Smart light switches often come with eco-friendly settings to decrease your impact on the environment, too. Installing your smart light switches by yourself will save you money and a call to an electrician. For the average person, it can be a little challenging as there are several steps to the process and it involves learning a little about light switch terminology and function as well as working with a variety of tools. Regardless, once you’ve done it once or twice, you should have the hang of it and you’ll feel like a DIY boss. When buying, one of the most important features to consider is proper calibration, which will ensure your readings are correct. Energy monitors should be consistent with the manufacturer's own kilowatt-hour readings for various appliances. You should also be able to get consistent results when using other monitors side by side. There are cheaper options available than the monitor we tested from RS Components. They include all the recommended features we've recommended you look out for and are widely available at the time of writing.
