NorthQ Power Reader

NorthQ has developed a small meter reader that can be easily installed on existing electronic or mechanical meters in order to visualize electricity consumption in private homes. The meter reading solution is based on the Z-Wave wireless standard, which is ideal for controlling automation products whithin the home.
The product consists of 3 parts: a meter reader, a battery-powered wireless transmitter and a USB receiver. Electricity usage data is transferred to a chosen PC every 15 minutes, where it can be visualized in the form of graphs, enabling customers to keep track of its electricity consumption ( in kWh and currency), monitor their CO2 emissions, etc.. It is also possible to receive real-time measurements in order to investigate how much each individual appliance consumes in active or standby mode.

Further, it is possible to enter a power budget for how much you want to consume, in your own currency, per year. A Widget on the screen continuously monitors and updates electricity consumption data to indicate whether you are under or over the budget. You are then able to compare your electricity consumption of the current year with the one in previous years. It is also possible to compare the consumption in your current home with that in other types of dwellings, e.g. apartments, houses, villas etc..

Economy 7 is a off peak / night tariff which is billed at a lower rate.
The meter records the readings on two different registers. Meter constant is the same for both registers.
