The SmartSwitch is the first low-cost Z-Wave appliance switch that can report immediate wattage energy usage or kWh energy usage over a period of time.

The SmartSwitch measures the energy used by any device you plug it into (washing machine, DVD player, lamp, etc.). Use the SmartSwitch with Vera so you can see on your mobile phone or web browser how  much energy the device is using now, how much it used in the past month and what that energy is costing you! The Vera/SmartSwitch combo gives you the ability to turn any appliance off (or on) while away from home from any web browser, including your iPhone, iPad or any Smartphone. You can also turn off (or on) the device while in your home by using any Z-Wave remote or your computer.
