Yesterday morning I found a TED 5000-C at radioworld.ca with 1 set of sensors and the remote display for $200. SHould be here in a few days. My only concern is using the powerlines to send the data to the gateway. Apparently interference and questionable stability takes place in some homes. I can probably work around it but it's a dumb idea in my mind. Just go wireless or give me the option of plugging an ethernet cable in and figureing out how to run it. I still prefer this setup to the Battery powered meter outside though. I'd hate to lose data over dead batteries.
Also the 100Watt resolution of the 28000 is pretty high for me. Only my large appliances would show up on that. The 5000 should have a resolution of a few watts.
Hopefully it arrives by tomorrow. More likely early next week though.
