There's an old British saying about scarce things being like buses - none available for a long time and then a fleet of them arrive.
This is abit like Z-Wave Wall Plug Switch Meters for UK plug types.
We recently launched the TKB TZ88, which at the time was the only UK style Switch Meter. And, now we are just launching the Popp Switch Meter.
The new wall plug from Popp can control any applaince and measure its power consumption. It does have some really special features that aren't available in other switch meters.
What's so special about it?
Retains Status
For some reason this feature isn't available on other switch meters. The Popp Switch Meter retains its previous status (On or Off) after a power outage. This is especially useful for appliances that you need to be On when power is available again.
Works as Meter Only
The Popp Switch Meter can be set so that its switch function is disabled - it only measures power. This is a really useful feature if you want to measure the power consumption of a freezer, but don't want to accidentally turn it off.
As well as these additional features, it will allow you to control the appliance manually and wirelessly via Z-Wave, as well as measuring the appliance's power (W) and accumulated power consumption (kWh).
First stock will be available on Monday 14th July, and we're even going to include it in next week's Vesternet Mondays event.
