review.reviewBody=<p>At last it seems that I can do the detailed power monitoring and load profiling of my appliances that I have not been able to since the AlertMe.</p><p>Much easier to set up and configure and even (re)calibrate than I expected.</p><p>Local Bytes has very responsive customer service and even noticed my Twitter cry for help that was not directed at it!</p><p>Note: running totals eg for "Today" in status responses seem not to be reliable; summing per-minute samples seems more in accord with other measurements.</p>
