Idratek doesn't offer native power monitoring, but I have an ODI
(Octal
Digital Interface) which allows pulse counting. Therefore, in my setup
I (will) have a bank of 8 x 1 DIN counters which sit after the mini-
breakers in the consumer-unit. They send a pulse every 0.5wh so 2000
pulses per 1Kwh. The information is displayed in Cortex as a measure of
electirical usage (count basis is configurable) as current use,
cumulative and most worryingly as cumulative cost
