dragging this one up from the dead.

I'm thinking about getting a TED 5000. there appears to be 2 or 3 parts looking at the install video First is the part that gets wired into the panel and has the clamps to measure usage. I'm assuming it's wired in to draw it's power directly from the panel rather then being plugged in.

The next part receives the signal from part 1 and passes it into your router making it available online.

3rd part is the wireless display if wanted.

I'm curious how far part 2 can be from part 1 and still work? my breakerbox is in the rec room about 25 feet from my router. is this likely to work? I'm not sure if there is a limit to data over power transmissions. Also does this part need a ground on the plug? the 1 free plug in my office not filled with power bars only takes 2 prong plugs.

Also for everyone that has one are you still loving it? $200 is a little steep but the software and so on looks real nice.
