There is one of argos. 60 quid i think.
i dont get how it works though

Would it interfere with a wifi network in the house?

(And by the way, the same question about those little wireless doorbells.)

I use the "efergy" monitor at work where we have en eircom wireless network and have had no problems.

All you need to do is attach a magnetic clamp around the live input wire going into your meter and then turn on.. very simple to install

Hmm. My meter's outdoors where it's damp and rainy. It's in a box, but the box often swings open, or is left open by the meter-reader.
