Revolutionize Energy Monitoring with Blue Line Innovations BLI 24000 PowerCost BLI-24000 Review

We got one like this a while ago and installed the outdoor unit on top of the electricity meter outside (because it needs to be set up). It provides real-time tracking of your electricity usage, although in our big house we have so many bike motors in our heating systems and fridges that it's almost impossible for you to turn the lights on and off and see how the load has changed. The real weakness of the system is that the transmitter unit is mounted externally on the electricity meter and…

I have been using this product for almost 5 years with no problems. You need to change the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver about twice a year. I reset the usage to match my utility meter chart and it's accurate to within a dollar or two. That's because I don't always know exactly when the meter will arrive. Living in Southeast Texas, it's important to know what my electric bill will be! With air conditioning and an above ground pool, the power consumption is quite high. Using…

At our house, the electricity bills were higher than we expected, so I tried this and a regular monitor with a 110 volt outlet. I completed the installation of our electromechanical gauge in about 20 minutes, leaving the monitor in the room. a kitchen where our whole family could get feedback on usage. During the day it showed clear fluctuations - from 1kW to about 12kW. To isolate the power guzzlers, I turned off all the switches and measured one suspect at a time. This has worked well for…

My electrical company offered a deal on this product, so I was able to purchase it for only $30. Unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as helpful as I had hoped. It connects to the electricity meter and only shows the current electricity consumption for the whole house. I was expecting to be able to walk around the house, turning devices on and off and checking how much power they were using, but the monitor is slow (5-10 seconds) to detect changes in usage and the resolution is only a tenth of a…

I found the monitor relatively easy to install and set up and it works as promised. This point is mentioned in other reviews, but it's worth repeating: the resolution of this device is only 0.1 kW (100 W). If you want to study the intricacies of energy consumption in detail, this will be a challenge.

Didn't work reliably on the original meter. Can no longer be used as meters have been converted to smart meters. 10.3 x 8.8 x 5.2 inches!

It works well enough, but it's clearly version 1.0. I'm sure they will get better. The big limitation is the 433MHz radio link between the gauge and the remote display. If you have other 433MHz devices in your house, the effective range is only a few meters. Most remote temperature and weather sensors operate at 433MHz.

Installation and configuration took about 30 minutes. Simply connect the sensor to an external electricity meter (works with both analogue and newer digital meters), sync the sensor to the display and enter the electricity price. The display worked on the opposite side of the house from the sensor. It tracks usage with a delay of about 10 seconds. It shows both the current cost of power consumption and the cumulative cost since the last manual reset. As a bonus, it also displays the outside…

The device started losing connection. The device lived up to the positive reviews and worked flawlessly for two weeks, but after a week of high humidity in the Dallas area, the device began to work intermittently. I did everything I could, changed the batteries and finally got the unit indoors before the weather got any better. It never rained on our meter, only the ambient humidity somehow affected the device. I was finally able to return the device. online but the next day the same thing…

I bought the monitor to find out more about my power consumption. It's easy to install, but two major flaws made me return it. First, the data provided is too imprecise to measure performance. The display only shows 1/10kW (so 100W), but the basic accuracy seems to be even worse (maybe 200-300W). In addition, the measurements are not performed in real time - it may take a minute or more for the display to update after the usage mode has changed. Second, the display must be in close proximity to

I've had this for a few years and the only good thing I can say is that when I emailed the company for assistance, they were quick to respond. My initial problem was configuring the transmitter to attach to my particular gauge - I had to pull harder than I thought a plastic part could be good for, and make sure I didn't break it . The problem that makes this device disappointing. is that it is designed to measure total power, not instantaneous power. Your power meter pulses every 100 watts…

I doubt this review will see the light of day. I ordered a power monitor from the supplier Revain and received it promptly. It was sold as new and the packaging it came in looked shabby apart from normal shipping and handling. I installed it and got it working, although one function was obviously not normal. It worked normally for a little over a week, became sporadic [reported weak or dead batteries], and then died completely. Definitely a dissatisfied customer. I have reported the condition…

I initially thought this was a great device that gives a good idea of the cost of leaving different lights and using different lights. But for a few weeks it would crash when it rained and I ended up having to reinstall it about 3 times (a process that takes about 2 hours and several iterations). Within a year he lost all communication and I wasn't sure what happened as the ads were still working. I ended up replacing the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver and within 2 weekends I…

I doubted it, but I bought it anyway. The installation disk helped. I was more interested in overall consumption, so I'm happy with the level of detail I'm getting.

I read an article about a product called Wattson that isn't available yet, but this product does pretty much the same thing as Wattson, except for detailed tracking and computer integration. The package is very easy to set up, all you need is a screwdriver. Batteries are included and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. This product makes it easy to track real-time kWh usage in your home. For smaller units, consider using the built-in power indicator/ammeter. They tend to show more…

This inexpensive device gives you the ability to track your home's electricity consumption. With today's HIGH costs, this is a great way to reduce your overall electricity bill. The setup is a bit tricky. I was able to set up this device in a few steps.

When I first tried to set up PowerCost Monitor, I had some difficulties. But thanks to the EXCELLENT support from Blue Line Innovations it's finally working. I can see where some people have given less than rave reviews. Without understanding how the system works, it would be easy to give up. At first I had a hybrid gauge, m200 or something, with a digital display and an infrared peephole that reflected the actual inside of the old-fashioned wheel. No matter what I tried I couldn't get it to…

Bought 2 units, both failed due to water in transmitter unit. emailed many times and they are aware of the issue but still selling the same design. Ask them if they sell spare parts because all I need is a forwarding fee. no answer, stay away from this product or you will regret buying it.

This cost savings meter is a great way to see your energy usage in an easy to read format and easy to install. The instructions provided are clear and the included software is helpful. We particularly liked the digital display, which is easy to read and provides a lot of information. From the current energy consumption, energy costs, weekly and monthly comparisons to the current temperature. I recommend this product to anyone who wants to save electricity and find out which household items use…

With this meter you can read your electricity meter day by day or hour by hour. It provides a detailed record of the intricacies of your billing system, including different rates at different times and excess amounts. You can turn on an electric stove, an air conditioner, any electrical device with a large power consumption and see not only how much electricity it consumes, but also how much it costs you per hour according to your tariffs. Only 2 disadvantages: It takes 3090 seconds to register
