Does this allow to monitor energy use in watts (like a Kill A Watt device) through SmartThings?

I've never heard that it can do that. I only know that you can turn it off remotedly or have it turn off or on depending on actions that you take such as when you leave the house or enter it using the Nexia Schlage lock. It's best you speak with a technician at Nexia

This measures AC power usage in watts, kilowatts and watt hours. To monitor your batteries you probably want something like a Zantrex Link Lite or Link Pro which shows battery voltage, Amp Hours used and can be programmed for the capacity of your battery bank to show your particular systems- "Percent of charge used" and hours till empty as well as alarm outputs for when you your batteries are running low (which can trigger a generator to start up or just an audible alarm).

That depends. Appliances with motors can take extra current (or watts) at startup that might be 2 or 3 times the running current. The Kill-a-watts does not really detect that peak turn-on wattage. But you can watch the display and it will update in a second or two and you can roughly how much current (wattage) the appliance takes. But you will need to watch it at startup. For appliances without motors, you can just look at the typical wattage and get a pretty good feel for how much electricity it will require.

Yes you can measuretrue power but you cant measure current and volts at the same time

I have, without incident so far. But this is likely much more wattage than required and multi-tap function less relevant. (Depends on application)

Unfortunately, it will not. It will give a lot of real time measurements and do a watt-hour summary for and time starting at the time it is plugged in but this probably won't help you. You will get real time current usage if you want to watch your amp draw current as you play with volume and speaker loads.Hope this helps.

I do not think so. This device only works a secondary controller, not with ip gateway like adt pulse. I had same problem with smartthings hub

The Owl can monitor individual circuits if you place the CT's around the specific circuit. If there are multiple devices on that circuit then you would actually have to unplug them and turn them on again to see their actual usage. If you place the CT's on 2 EA circuits then the Owl will accumulate the total loads of both circuits.

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.

It only shows runtime, load capacity and voltage. For watts you should look into a kill-a-watt device like this one: http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU I have one of those and it works great. Plug it in before the unit, then plug the unit into it and you will have the watt display of the whole ups.

HA! I asked them the same question! No.They said that the whole purpose of it was to monitor raw energy. a battery backup will give you inaccurate readings. that does make since, as this unit needs to read spikes and drops etc. as well as normal current pull.

Since I use a timer to control the period of "charging", I do not have that knowledge. The timer, of course, has to remain ON all the time to keep the time. I doubt that the power goes off in the smartstrip "always on" group or the name would not be "always on".

This is not a "power meter". It is more of a novelty or home economics type product. It is not accurate enough for power management. It comes with two current sensors but you have to program average line to neutral voltage in. It gives you Watts, which is pretty useful for trimming household electrical loads and budgeting, but it is a good estimate at best. I love the thing for it's simplicity, easy of use and the data logging.

the PoE feature doesn't add current draw (power consumption) unless you're actually using it...unless a PoE device is connected. There is no benefit to disabling the feature.

What does it do: Measure the KW/h that your house is using on realtime, by day (and average), by week (and average) and by month (and average). How does it do it: You clamp sensors on the cables that enter your breaker box, and the sensor transmit this information to the device. They have a very good range of action

It works for measuring kilowatts used and has a price conversion... been over 7 months and still works (use it for measuring electricity in garage apartment)

There is a timer, but it just counts how long you have been measuring your electrical usage.
