[QUOTE="Dibbs, post: 541553, member: 36216"] No-one knows whether any thread is genuine. Tho' obviously the vast majority are :) Why would the upstairs folk switch on an appliance as the OP does so? I'm guessing it would be to prevent the OP's meter from running when the OP has turned everything off; that would be a tad too obvious an indication of leccy theft. So they wait until the OP is already drawing power, and then just [I]add [/I]to that load. If Sun_23 is mistaken, or confused about what is(n't) going on, then the helpful replies will remain that - helpful, and will hopeful end up proving the situation one way or another. No skin of anyone's nose (tho' potentially a very puzzled and miffed upstairs neighbour). Sun_23 - I have no idea if this device is any good - perhaps folk on here could advise? If it might do the trick, are you techie enough to set up and run the App? [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304811932877?']Ebay item 304811932877[/URL] It's "[SIZE=4]Watty Box 1000 Series Smart Power Consumption Meter "[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
