Increase Electricity Consumption Awareness with the OWL Smart Meter

New for 2009 the new and improved CM119 Owl energy monitor will help make the fight against rising fuel prices and climate change even easier!

The stylish, portable OWL energy monitor provides instant, up to date information on the exact amount of electricity you are using at that particular moment in time. This means you are able to gain a better understanding of which electrical appliances are costing the most to run and show you the financial gain of turning off each device. Increasing your homes energy consumption knowledge has been known to result in savings of hundreds of pounds off your electricity bill!

Now with the new accumulative function you are able to view energy costs and consumption over a certain time period (days, weeks or months). Tracking energy savings in this way will help fine tune and keep you motivated on your energy saving strategy!

Another new feature for the Owl electricity monitor is the multiple tariff function which will help create an even more accurate picture of your electricity costs. Improved battery life now provides up to a 24 month battery life expectancy for the transmitter and 12 months for the portable display.

More About the wireless OWL Energy Monitor

The OWL power saving monitor receives and displays data on a large, easy to read display. The signal received from the sender box transmits wireless beams of data to the remote monitor (works through walls up to 30m range). The sensor box takes readings from your mains as it is attached to a sensor which clips onto your mains supply cable and as the monitor is run from batteries it won't eat into your electricity supply.

Not only are you able to educate yourself on electricity costs per hour in dollars, pounds or Euros, you can also keep up to date with other functions such as greenhouse gas emissions, total household electricity consumption and temperature/humidity readings.

An easy way to start making savings, changing the way you think about electricity consumption resulting in a much more energy efficient home.
- Wireless operation
- Large LCD display
- Instant electricity usage display (kilowatts)
- Accumulative function display (days, week, month)
- Multiple tariff cost of electricity display per kWh (pounds, Euros or Dollars)
- Alerts user to peak load electricity limits via alarm function
- Greenhouse gas emission display in kgs per house
- Temperature and humidity display
- Runs on batteries
- Economy 7 compatible
All signals are received using 'phase' current transformer sensing technology to detect and monitor the magnetic field around your household electricity cable. It measures the amps being used and, by reference to the system voltage, calculates the amount of power being used, the cost and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

I found the OWL to be an extremely useful tool for understanding the actual energy used in my home. This has made me aware of how much power each electrical device uses. I was quite shocked to find out how much electricity my halogen spot lights used (lots). Since buying the OWL I have gone on to purchase more energy saving products. I have been able to see first hand the actual power saved. I highly recommend this product.

This product has completely exceeded my expectations. A visual reading of electricity consumption is a great way of demonstrating just HOW MUCH money is being used - indisputable evidence for use with recalcitrant teenagers!!

I was slightly nervous of how difficult it might be to install the Owl, but it really was simple and we were up and running in a short time. It is amazing to see the readout as you use different devices around the house. The Owl is a great eye-opener, and brings home the cost of boiling a kettle far better than any Government advert can do. You may not be able to reduce the cost of everything you use, but the increased awareness is a good thing.

Excellent piece of kit and very good value. Easy to install, (it even comes with batteries) and to programme, it has now been telling us our household electrical usage for nine days. Simply by knowing how much each appliance is costing us and by using these more sensibly we have already saved money. It will definitely have paid for itself by the end of the quarter. Try it - you'll be gobsmacked as you carry it around your house and switch things on and off!

Great product, saved me £50 in 48hrs found why my electricity usage had gone up. The EPS power saver EPS 188 was using 200 Watts extra per hr and was returned to the supplier. Even the kids like to see what a difference switching something off makes.

This product is useful and really good fun (OK, I'm not known for my cutting edge sense of humour). At last, I can work out whether it's worth making my own bread or whether the planet is better off if I buy it from the Co-Op down the road.

Two very slight teething probs:
- none of my extensive collection of Phillips screwdrivers could easily open the battery chamber on the sender - a bit frustrating when I was itching to get my new device up and running
- when the sender and receiver lost contact one day, it took me a while to work out ithey didn't like using Channel 2 anymore and I had to change to Channel 3
But these are very trivial issues - it's a triumph and I've recommended it to loads of other people. (When are they going to produce something which covers gas as well?)

The Owl Energy Monitor: Arrived quickly to France in spite of a postal strike and was well packaged; Instructions good and easilly set up. It does what it is supposed to do well and I can't fault it. I have started saving because I identified appliances which could be switched off without making any difference.
