I agree that 50% might be more than you would expect. Please remember
the following

1 - Current Cost only measures current
- It has no knowledge of voltage variations
- It can't take into account power factor deviations

2 - The current cost transmitter sends an instantaneous reading of the
current approximately every six seconds, your supply meter in reads
the power used continuously. I suspect that this leads to lower power
used reading than might be expected, although without knowing how
power usage is actually calculated I can only speculate.

I am providing feedback to currentcost, highlighting some of the
problems that users on this list are experiencing, when I've got
answers I'll pass them on.

Regards

Stuart
