Wireless Home Energy Monitor (Single Phase)

The average household can reduce their electricity bill by up to 20% when they actively manage their electricity usage with a Wireless Home Energy Monitor.

With a Wireless Home Energy Monitor your energy usage and cost will be displayed in Real Time, no more waiting for the next quarterly bill to see if your efforts to reduce your energy consumption have worked.

The Wireless Home Energy Monitor will also show how much you are spending on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

When you first get your Wireless Home Energy Monitor it will help you to identify those appliances that add the most to your electricity bill. You can then make an informed decision about how often,  or when you use them, putting you back in control of your electricity bill.

Next you need to look at your Standby electricity usage which can account for as much as 25% of your electricity bill and represents those appliances that are just waiting to be used like your home entertainment system.

But lets face it, we like our Standby appliances, with a Wireless Home Energy Monitor you can identify those standby appliances that contribute the most to your standby energy consumption. This allows you to achieve the greatest possible reduction with the least inconvenience.

A Wireless Home Energy Monitor also allows you to check everything is turned off before going to bed or leaving the house and is a great reminder for the whole family to turn things off when they finish with them.

For those looking to chart your energy usage the Wireless Home Energy Monitor comes with a USB connection. 

The Wireless Home Energy Monitor consists of 3 main parts - an LCD  display unit, Transmitter unit and Sensor clamp. This model of the Wireless Home Energy Monitor is supplied with 1 sensor for a Single Phase connection. If you need a 3 Phase monitor you need the Wireless Home Energy Monitor (3 Phase).  An explanation of Single and 3 Phase can be found on the Learn More page.

Daily Usage Graph

The Daily Usage Graph is the primary graph used to monitor your usage.  It will show your total daily usage for the past 30 days and with customizable colour coding to keep you on track.

In this example the lowest usage was on December 5th when no one was in the house for 24 hours, yet 10kW's was still used. This is known as your Standby usage which can represent up to 25% of your electricity bill.

This families average daily usage is 43kw so their Standby usage of 10kW represents approximately 24% of their total electricity usage and approximately 24% of their electricity bill. You can also see impact of running an air conditioner for most of the day on December 25th where 75kW was used.

With this knowledge you will quickly see where you can make savings, and what it costs to run appliances like the Air Conditioner.
