Make sure you are aware of what software level in the receiver unit
you are getting.=20=20
On ebay they are selling direct the latest versions (1.07) that give
historic data at 9600 bps while the Southern Electricity only give the
immediate data and run at 2400.=20
I bought the Southern Elec unit (=A332 I think as this was cheapest).=20
Works fine for me but I then bought another latest version receiver
unit from ebay. (Actual reason was that I'd originally rigged up the
display in a very obvious spot on the kitchen windowsill - When I
wanted to move to HA cupboard, wife objected so I needed another
receiver for the PC link so I had the excuse!)=20=20
FWIW, It seems to be pretty accurate and responsive to small changes
on or off (within the constraints that data is sent every 6 seconds or
so, so it's not absolutely 'instant').=20=20
