Crikey that's cheap fuf ! If these controllers work with ED's power monitor then you can have good control and an easy watt measurement for under 15 pound. Anyone here happily using one of these controllers with a plug in power monitor?

Bought one of those plug in power meters ED recommended for about 10 pound. I don't think they can handle much more than a 2 or 3 KW element but for my T500 boiler and controller this set up seems to work a treat. The digital readout gave similar readings to the ones I had calculated round the dial. O0
