Ugh I'm getting old. I clicked on the link and I get the same info as posted above. Can't work out what it is? Is it remote Phone access to turning off power switch ? Ozbargain used to be very clear, nowadays Ozbargainers are so savvy with technology that I have no idea what half the deals are about as its all assumed.
Hi grasstown,
Simply put, you plug this device into a wall socket, then you plug an appliance (such as a lamp or fan) into it, which can then be controlled (on/off) from your phone, laptop or computer. It also tells you how much energy that appliance is consuming.
FYI you will need a z-wave controller, such as the VeraLite, to control this product.
Cheers
Check out the VeraLite and Android demo.
Is this device smart enough to report the direction of energy flow?
Was wondering if it can be used with a small plug in grid tie inverter/charger which both uses and supplies power.
It is not smart enough to do that.
Thanks.

Has this expired now? Telling me it's an invalid code
Sorry, that one was only valid for a week from when it was posted on Facebook. Each week we put new deals on our Facebook.
No worries :)
This thing's $68, and needs a Z-wave controller.
The Belkin WeMo is $53 and works over WiFi.
I guess if you have a z-wave controller already, this might be a bargain?
It is a bargain for the specific product. You're comparing it to a completely different product..
Yes, much different to using a device over WiFi.
WiFi can be good if you just want to connect several devices in you house :)
Home automation requires a different type of network to run effectively, especially when you have many devices.
WeMo doesn't report on energy usage though
Quick question, are these "narrow" enough to fit two side by side in a double plug plate?
The maximum width is 54mm. So most double plates won't fit two next to each other, but you fit a normal plug easily next to it as there is lip where it plugs in. The alternative is the In-Line Smart Energy Switch.
Or a double adapter..
Great deal…ordering!
