    you clip a ct meter onto the incoming line at your esb box,
    set the rate on the monitor and off you go.
    the pc software is unusable unfortunately

    Strongly disagree.

    Most people don't realise what devices use what, or the actually difference change light bulbs make. By monitoring it, they learn.

    Agreed, its useful to everybody, there are so many hidden eaters of electricity now in modern homes, for example a multitude of devices on standby or devices on timers such as heaters, water pumps etc. All it takes are one or two inefficient devices or misset timers to create a massive electricity hogger thats a pain to track down.
