Anybody used this switch?  Does it work?

Good price on Amazon.  If it gets thumbs up, I'll post this in Coffee Shop also.

Yeah, I have a couple of these.  Big, bulky, kinda ugly - but they work just fine.  The flat plug is actually more of a feature than I ever thought it would be -- since pretty much every other plug-in module I have is a bulky "wall-wart", this is the go-to device for tight spaces.

I have one of these in my utility room running my hot water circulation pump on a schedule.  Works well.

Does the energy monitor work well?

Does the energy monitor work well?

 

I've never gotten into monitoring so I don't really know what the stats mean.  The numbers seem to reset occasionally, but I have no idea if that is typical or how it works.

I went ahead and ordered one.  $25, what the heck.    Even for just a switch, it's a good price and it's rated 5 amps higher than the Insteon switch if I'm not mistaken.

You could look at this thread  on how to set it up and it's reporting

Makes me tempted to get another one.  I've considered monitoring how frequently a sump pump is running.....

For my rough back-of-the-envelope sorts of values, yes the energy monitor works well.  It may actually be very precise, but I haven't actually run tests on this, so I can only report on how I've used it...
