Whole house power monitor w/built in ethernet

[briankelly63]

I'm looking for a higher end whole house, realtime power consumption device that is similar to the brutech or TED but I want it to have built in Ethernet functionality (rather than through zigbee) also a little less bleeding edge, something with a longer track record.... I've see some high end stuff in some of my search's but wonder if anyone has some personall experience with anything out there. This would be for a 200-250amp panel using the standard split core transformers... Browser - java based monitor of measurements.

How much are you planning on spending? The TED and Brultech options are the only ones I could find under $500. The next step up was something like $2k.

I believe Brultech has a serial > Ethernet option if you want to avoid wireless.

You can also look at www.welserver.com but you're gonna bust your budget.

Are you going to be integrating this with any 3rd party home automation system? I know some of them have support for TED and possibly Brultech. It's unlikely you're going to find support for super expensive gear.

I've got a Brultech, and I think it's great. It does require a bit more technical know-how than the TED, but you also get a lot more capability with it.
