As mentioned by upon_drumhead (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=36841141">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=36841141</a>) there are much better devices for this job.<p>I&#x27;d recommend anyone looking for this sort of device to check out the devices on this list here (just the Energy Meters section) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sigrok.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Supported_hardware#Energy_meters" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sigrok.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Supported_hardware#Energy_meters</a><p>Sigrok support will ensure you have a well supported open specification device that already has alternative software available in case whatever software is bundled with the device turns out to be substandard or eventually unsupported.

I wish they would have compared against the TC66C. It&#x27;s an amazing bit of kit at a quarter of the cost.
