Re: Re: Electrisave protocol / PC Interface

["Jim Franklin" <jimf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Electrisave (from now on called ES :)) has three sockets on the
bottom
to take up to three sensors (extras sensors are optional and at a cost of
about a tenner i believe).
The sensor itself has quite a good 'clip on and click' mechanism to
"wrap"
around the mains Live cable between the meter and the fusebox. the cable is
about a metre long, and you simply fix the transmitter onto a wall (or in
my
case leave it on the floor) of the electricity cupboard, using the bracket
supplied.
