Cheap One-Way Remote 'Clip-On' Energy Meter

martinwinlow · Apr 21, 2016

Hi,

Does anyone know of a cheap (~£30) remote energy meters that use a clip-on-type sensor that reads energy use *one-way* only? I am aware of the Owl Intuition but it is OTT and too expensive for what I want.

Regards, MW.

we were driving down a country lane in Shropshire the weekend before last and saw a barn owl sitting on gate, we stopped alongside and it just sat there for a few seconds, it then flew along the other side of the hedgerow at the side of the road and I was keeping up with it in the van for the whole length of the field, about eight feet away. Shame we didn't get it on video.

Just thought I would share.

But did it at anytime tell you either how much energy you or it was using at the time?

Couldn't hear it, I had the engine running.
