Product Info :

The Wattson energy monitor shows you how much electricity your home is using at any given time. It can show you in watts or in £s (ouch!). It even expresses your energy use with pulsing colour-changing lights - groovy!

Reduce electricity use in your home or office
Adopt new energy saving practices and measure the benefits
Check everything is turned off when you leave, quickly and easily
Confirm energy saving measures are working

The idea is that if you can see how much electricity you're using, it'll help you identify where it is being wasted and help you use less. Typically, the Wattson can help you save up to 20% on your electricity bills. That's not to be sniffed at, and of course you will be doing your bit for the environment as well.

Plus the Wattson is cool. Don't trust my judgement? I don't blame you, however, in October 2007 the Wattson came 8th in the TOP 10 COOL GADGET LIST 2007 by STUFF MAGAZINE. That makes it cooler than the iPod nano (10th) and up there with major products from Sony Ericsson, Nintendo and Leica and the Apple iPhone!

Best of all, the Wattson is the baby of 3 Royal College of Art graduates who invented it and now produce it in the UK. I think that is really cool!

How does Wattson work?

Wattson measures the total amount of electricity being used in your home at any given time and shows this value on an easy-to-read display and via it's mood lights.

An easy to attach sensor is clipped to the mains power cable coming into your home at the main electricity meter. This sensor is connected to a transmitter which sends the data wirelessly to the Wattson display.

The very cool Wattson display is portable and can be located anywhere in your home or office, up to 100m away from the transmitter through air, or 30m through walls.

Put your Wattson unit display wherever you like. Most people put them in the kitchen or living room where an eye can be kept on energy consumption thanks to the pulsing coloured lights (cool blue for low consumption through to red for high consumption).

Wattson works with any kind of domestic UK electricity meter (240V, 415V single or 3 phase).

Wattson for serious energy monitoring :

For serious analysis of energy consumption, software is included to allow the Wattson to interface with your computer (PC and MAC compatible) to show historical and real time data.

Historical electricity use data (stored within Wattson's internal memory) can be viewed graphically using Holmes (oh... I get it!) - Wattson's own personal data sleuth program (download from website). Historical energy use can be viewed by the day, week, month and year.

Wattson and Renewable Energy

With the simple installation of an extra sensor, Wattson is able to measure microgenerated electricity supplies from Solar Cells or Wind Turbines, providing a greater understanding of net energy use. Information is shown on Wattson as generated energy, net consumption and total generated energy to date. Both generated and consumed energy is stored in Wattson’s internal memory. All data can be viewed via Holmes – Wattson’s own personal data sleuth program.
