    i had a problem with the first TED5000 I had and had to return it to Energy Inc. I bought this one to replace it and it is working great. I love being able to see my electricity usage. Just having the info available has helped reduce our usage. It has also been a useful tool to reduce our always on usage while justifying the use of other items all the time based on minimal savings from turning them off.

    Install the CTs & MTU in a few minutes. Instructions should be really understood before starting then all will be OK. Took some time moving the Gateway around the house until a half way decent reception spot found. Still stops completly for an hour at a time so will have to find the source of interference. Considering moving it right next to the MTU and running a long network cable to the router. Software really slows down the computer and needs to be re-run on occasions but when the novelty has worn of it will not need to be on all the time! Very happy with the concept and design. Connected to Google so can check what is happening when away from the house.

    No problems encountered installing the unit. Just need to exercise caution when installing the current transformers around the main service lines. Web interface was easy to set up after I read the ted5000-usermanual.pdf file. Updating the firmware was a little bit challenging. Needed to go to the user forum for advice with that. The display is only usable in the same room as the gateway. So it’s not very useful as a every day monitoring device.. I used it to check my household loads, but had to come back to the same room to check the readings out. It makes a good night-light but doesn't work as a reliable display device. I am using Google PowerMeter to keep track of the data. But turning off my router and wall warts every night (isn’t that the point?) makes the readings kind of confusing. But the summaries appear helpful. All in all I would rate this a good product. And for the price it’s the only one available so it’s a good buy.

    Works as expected. Easy to install if you're comfortable working with electrical. Had to RMA the first display unit, but the second is working fine.
