I can see my consumption from anywhere in real time with this tool, it's very easy for me when i want turn off some device or switch another one without touch them physically! My only complaint would be about how sometimes works (sometimes stop working) but not always.. For sure there are better ones out their like Powerstation which you also have great support team too if something go wrong during install/use etc :) It has saved so much energy costs compared previous tools we had previously using before such as dimmers / switches control center ect We've cut our usage down 50% since installing these products I like how it can be set up in different ways. You can have certain devices turn on/off when you are not in the home, or you can use it as a security system. It's expensive for what you get, but if you need it then it will definitely work for you. I would recommend having a professional install it so there aren't any issues down the road. We are using it to control devices when we are away from our house.
