I'm seeing what looks like a problem with both my meters.

I see this every few days (0n both meters). When the load (a PC) drops off to a couple of watts at night,
the wattage display will hang up, (Like 2.2W) and will not change under load change. I have to use the reset button..
Not liking this bug. Means I won't be able to monitor my little heat pump, long term.

I sent off a quirky to the Ebay vendor. I'll post their response..

One possible cause, could be erratic power spikes.?.
My TED shows we had 141.2VAC line voltage at 8:42AM..

That means my Sanyos were running on 282.4 vac!!
The TED must be recording very short spikes or is just NG..
