Great! I had this installed in my old property but I've since moved and this place is smaller. It's quicker to connect. I'd like for it to memorise the strength, usage and pattern of devices and appliances so that we're able to label things for better control. It wouldn't be able to specifically watch an item whilst inuse, though it'll allow you to see if it's on. I'm not happy that my data's being sold for this but it's a little late. With Optus, Latitude etc

Ok, but design of hardware and app flawed. Specifically designed to prevent user replaceable battery, powered by two AA, I jury rigged a CR123 as replacement when they went flat but opening case was a challenge. Also app has no widget or integration with smartphone devices, so not great for actually monitoring usage and adjusting behaviour (I e. Choosing when to use solar) or automation as you have to have app open.

The app is great! And it pairs well with an Amber Electric bill by showing the cost that you are using depending on the price of electricity. Sometimes there are issues connecting to the Powerpal device, but that seems more of a hardware issue. Once it connects, it syncs up everything with ease!
