Shane, Smart Works devices comply with UL 61010, just like most handheld Fluke meters. Devices with inductive sensing do require agency approval.

What type of certification (UL, CE, CSA?) do these devices require? Would all the devices need this or only the devices that interface to the voltage directly? Would the devices that use a non-electrical method of measurement, such as a induction clamp or a visual pickup, need any certification? I have some concerns about the safety of some of these devices.

To the authors, Keep up the great work compiling this information for consumers!

Hey,

What about Powometer and MyEnergyUsage? They connect to Wattson and allow you to monitor, log and compare your usage to your friend’s usage.

I purchased a Wattson from the UK last summer. I live in the Bahamas (we use North American power standards) and it will not work. I’m not an electritian and don’t know the specs. The clamp is for a wire the diameter of your pinkie, I have a home with 3 phase supply more at the diameter of a half dollar piece. The diykyoto web site for Wattson, still does not clearly state the companies time table to make a North American variant. Your inclusion in your roundup has me hoping you know something I don’t, has Wattson been UL listed etc?

Oter than the issue with Wattson, what other live data logger can you suggest for me?

I realy need more info on the Watt’s up Pro and any data loggers, single phase and poly phase. Are there any controll devices for residential use were you can read the voltage, current , active power,reactive power, power facter. and on these readings switch power devices on and of as required.
