If your meter looks like a spinning disk, you're out of luck—for now.
I have read where a fellow used an LED and a photodetector to watch his spinning disc and measure how long it takes to go around. Sadly I can't find the web page anymore. Still, it is possible.
- ShabbyDoo 17y agoI wonder if one can ask his electric company to upgrade his meter?
- savrajsingh 17y agoYou can, depends on your power company.
- easyfrag 17y agoYou're only out of luck if you want a detailed history or to view it on the web, plenty of monitoring devices exist that are compatible with the analog models. http://blackanddecker.com/Energy/PowerMonitor.aspx?WT.mc_id=BDPowerMonitor http://blackanddecker.com/Energy/PowerMonitor.aspx?WT.mc_id=...
- tomharrisonjr 17y agoThe BlueLine PowerCost monitor (same as the Black and Decker version) both have sensors that, in addition to reading digital meters, can read the black line on the analog meters. There's no reason that WattVision couldn't do exactly the same thing. It's primitive, to be sure, but it works.
