The Wattson
I would definitely say that the Wattson is one of my top energy conservation products of the year so far and it is a device that any eco-conscious householder should consider buying. Simplistically, the Wattson is a device that will tell you how much energy your domestic appliances are using, both in Watts and £'s spent.
The Wattson consists of two parts. The first is a very stylish white arch display unit, which has dimensions of 17 x 10.4 x 5.6cm, and secondly an electricity monitor that will act as a sensor and broadcaster of energy usage data. To install the Wattson you would need to clip the sensor to the two wires that run between your electricity meter and the fuse box. This will then send the information back to the main unit, which will display not only the energy currently being used in watts or pounds, but also the energy being used by individual electrical appliances. The reading can be displayed on the unit numerically or you can choose to have an ambient light read out. In other words, the more electricity being used, the brighter the ambient light will shine.
Connectivity is also a strong point of the Wattson. In order to use the device you will not need to worry about trailing wires around the house because it functions wirelessly. Also the Wattson stores energy consumption data, which can be downloaded onto your computer via the USB port whereupon historical data usage patterns can be generated. A fun element is that you can compare your home electricity usage patterns with other Wattson users and share tips on energy efficiency.
I can find literally no negative points that can be discussed in relation to the Wattson. It is stylishly designed, it will help to reduce energy consumption, it can act as an educational device for children, it is wireless and you can generate electricity usage reports. The designers at Diy Kyoto have really produced a peerless product that deserves to have pride of place in everyone’s home. The standard priced Wattson is £125 or you can choose to opt for a more eco-friendly bamboo clad Wattson for £350. Go order yourself one at www.nigelsecostore.com
