I'm looking to get an energy monitor that can measure the home and solar. Came across Smappee. Seem's pretty amazing if it's to be believed. Not only does it measure the total house and solar but it can also measure the energy consumption of the appliances in the home too (Without needing to install loads of socket meters). It seems to work it all out from the clip-on sensor that goes around the homes electrical cable from the meter.

It can also control appliances using wireless socket control things. Says you can switch things off/on remotely, to schedules or when the solar production goes above a certain level.

Seems to be many things:
  • Home energy monitor
  • Solar monitor
  • Appliance level energy monitor
  • Home control


It packs a lot of features (some I've not seen before) for the price. The Amazon reviews seem pretty good so far, but has anyone else got one on here? I'm interested in some feedback before I take the leap of faith and get me one.
