June 2, 20224 yr Looking to get a single phase kw and watt hour meter. Something with memory. what I actually want to do is test my geyser for a day or a week to get an average usage. I’m playing around with my geyser timer to see what times suit me best an how much power I can actually save, also looking to test my fridge and my dishwasher. I’ve seen products for around R600 but I will gladly take recommendations on products some of you have tried and tested and is accurate. thanks

June 3, 20224 yr I am running a 25 Amp SONOFF from Communica for R750 and love it, it gives me monthly reports based on my daily consumption for last 3 months, I have set it to only switch on in the mornings before I shower for 45 minutes, so far very happy with the results. Ignore the cost, I just entered R2.90 per unit and I know that is higer than what I am actually billed for. R750 from Communica https://www.communica.co.za/products/sonoff-energy-monitor-pow-r3?variant=39438047150153 Here you can see in April I consumed 42 units and there was a spike on the 16th coz I manually overrode the geyser to be on longer as I had 3 loads of dishes to do 😆
