Recently, I’ve been exploring the possibility of installing energy monitoring in-wall outlets to better track my home’s energy consumption. While searching for options, I was surprised by the limited availability of such devices. I stumbled upon one model priced at $77, but the reviews were underwhelming, which made me hesitant to proceed.
After some research, I discovered that Zigbee and Z-Wave options might be worth considering. I found a Zigbee option from Sinope and a Z-Wave model from Jasco, both offering energy monitoring features. While I’m leaning towards Zigbee for its compatibility with my existing setup, I’m curious to hear others’ experiences with these brands.
Has anyone successfully integrated energy monitoring outlets in their smart home setup? I’d love to hear about your experiences, challenges, and recommendations. Whether you’ve used Zigbee, Z-Wave, or even Wi-Fi options, sharing your insights would be invaluable for those of us looking to enhance our energy management capabilities.
