WIRELESS HOME ENERGY MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

A low cost, energy monitoring system comprises a plurality of remote sensors (2) for monitoring energy consumption in specific circuits, or by specific appliances, an adapter (40) that communicates with the remote sensors (20) over a wireless network, and a host device (60) with a display. The remote sensors (2) monitor energy consumption in specific circuits, or by specific appliances, and report the energy consumption by the monitored circuits or appliances to the remote adapter (40). The adapter (40) stores the energy consumption data in memory and generates output images for display by the host device (60). The output images are based on display templates stored in the memory of the adapter and define how the energy consumption data is formatted and displayed for the user.
