How does it work?

In-home display systems have three components – a sensor, a transmitter, and a receiver. The sensor unit (which measures energy consumption) has an optical meter or magnetometer to measure the kWh usage. Some sensors are also based on the current transformer (CT). The transmitter sends consumption data from the sensor to the receiver (via Bluetooth). Data transmission range is 25 meters indoors and 80 meters outdoors.

Energy Advisor connects your electricity meter to your smartphone via bluetooth so you know exactly how much electricity your home is using.Now you can identify which appliances and usage patterns are costing you and increasing power bills. We will help you push them down!
