Welcome to your Real Time Electricity Monitor that will help you understand more
about the electricity you use, and the small steps you can take to cut wasted energy.
By sending a wireless signal to your Monitor from a Transmitter linked to your meter,
you can see the eff ect in real time of switching appliances and lighting on and off by
displaying total electricity consumption in terms of cost and energy savings. This will
help you save energy, money and the environment.
It is quick and easy to install and has been designed with safety as a priority.
