will this read a smart meter on a house?(tell me how much?) thanks!

Sorry, don't know the answer. And I don't know where any house smart meter is to test the Microwave meter on.

Try the Acoustimeter or the Acousticom 2 which measure microwave frequencies in the 200MHz to 8 GHz range. It tells you the amount of radiation from cell phones, iPads, wifi, bluetooth, game consoles as well as Smart Meters.

should work, has adjustible pressure and temp settings. The only thing you would have to do is tap into the wire harnes for power to the monitoring unit needed to see information.

It will measure the kWh used by whatever is pluged in to it. It will also aggregate the total kWh used for a period of time. I used it for deciding how big of a ups I need for my nas and router.

I would advise against it. This is only a CAT 2 rated meter. That means the internal safety features are not sufficient to handle the higher potential voltage and energy that could come about at a meter panel. http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5019/en You really want a CAT 3 meter if you want to measure any live breaker panels. If you are going to test for bad circuit breakers that are disconnected from the live wiring then you could use this meter to check for continuity and the like. Do not use this meter on anything more powerful than a wall outlet. CAT 3 meters are available for not much more money.

Yes. It will measure and calculate cost of only the electricity passing through the sensors. For example it could measure only the power used by an air conditioning unit if it was mounted on the wires going only to the AC unit. Power used by the rest of the house would not be measured.

Thanks for the info...I just went ahead and returned it...SMART is way off and it failed read test.

Hi,I have a solar system in NJ and a new digital "net meter" from AC electric. Will this device work with these newer meters? Thanks, Rob

Sorry Calvin, I think this a great meter, however, I only use it to check the voltage on my AA and AAA batteries and rechargeable batteries from Amazon..... Works Great ! Phil Pauls Valley, Oklahoma

I use it for my home it reads 240 vac it has only one ct built into board so you can only monitor one phase. The meter is rated for 600 volts

it will work if both devices are on the same circuit breakers. most houses have different circuit breaks for floors, thus it will not work. Hope it helps

It is a useful tool. However, more neighborhoods are getting upgraded meters that can provide this information. Check with your utility. Wandering round the house with the display, switching things on and off gives you a great sense of what is consuming power and whether you can or want to do anything about it. I was surprised, for example, just how much power was still used by my subwoofer when the stereo was off.

I don't know. I use this for domestic applications only. I bought it because none of my old meters were Catagory 3.

I would have no problem with this meter doing that. I use it all the time to check lighting ratios. Just hold down the trigger and read away. You'll have to do the math old school but it'll work.

I don't really know, but I will check tomorrow and see if it will charge one. I'll take it over a friends house and test it out.

I do know it measures the EMF radiation from Wi-Fi. I do not know the technical specs, however when I tested it in my living room (which faces the neighbor's smart meter) - the beeping on my Cell Sensor EMF Detection Meter just went to the highest danger level. Hope this helps.

Yup, sure does! You just have to be home to activate it since the meter only broadcasts for 4 mins. when a tech turns it on.

also if you use them near a tv or any electric appliance it could register 10 milligouse this is a normal read if u are worried about voltage or shorts use a dwell meter it tells if the wire is over loaded but theghost meter is great for sensitive emf fields
