    Mine's jumped up to reporting 500W base load overnight (again... as predicted). Will leave it this time to see if it drops off to usual 200W.
    As Andy mentioned above though, as an indicator it'll do. (and I think I'll just get used to its foibles!)
    Here's hoping for the sun the forecasters predicted today.

    Looking at the Energy Hive site, my base line used to be 180 - 200. Now, for some reason it has shot up to 280. Think this may be down to a server/software problem with EnergyHive and not a transmitter reporting problem.....Time will tell.... coffee.gif

    I wonder, is your reporting at Energyhive broken? It states "loading".

    I'm on the verge of making the buying decision.

    Thanks Sterling, it has been like that all morning, Just about to ring them now. Strange how the Wattson at Home still works okay, yet gets the same information from the same server; just displays it differently .......smiley-laughing021.gif

    At least it seems that Wattson is the correct one...:T:T:rotfl:

    Think they have a software problem somewhere, what did your base line reading sit at in the past??

    Hello Oscar

    Please do you know whether the efergy Elite electricity clamp and transmitter, £24.99, on the Energyhive site would serve to report the diverted power?

    Hello Lego, you know I'm biting to buy one. If I buy from Energyhive, does that connect to the Wattson site or is there a separate charge?

    Kind regards, Sterling

    I learned on a management course the concept of "nimbartentism", the belief that every cloud has a silver lining. I am not a nimbartenist.
