Does such a thing exist?!



Just had a brain wave! What would be really good is a consumer unit that recorded load on circuits and power usage, and could be connected to a pc via a serial or ethernet link, to view reports on power usage etc?

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl

It is not done a domestic consumption levels, but it is done at commercial levels. Nothing to stop you adding a CT to each circuit in a consumer unit.
