Energy Monitoring - Hardware
Energy monitoring @ Vaugrat uses a device called "CC128 Envi" from a company based in the UK Called Current Cost. This device has a "clamp connector" that clips to your main live feed as it enters the house. The information is relayed to a monitoring unit. This unit, connects to a PC with an optional USB data cable.
| On the PC I run a piece of software
called Panchube.

There is also an iPhone Application (Pachube Mon) that I use to monitor usage remotely. |
