It seems for me that the only thing in the house that stops my TED(yes, same cheap ebay one) is the microwave. My CFLs, LEDs, computers, electric dryer etc don't impact the TED operation. The only problem I'm getting with mine is that one leg seems to be showing half output right now. I think its because I've got a tiny little piece of wire to clamp to in the panel and the hall effect sensors are touching eachother but I'm certain that the clamps are closed completely. I'm happy that I'm getting the full reading on my housemate's bedroom but mine is on the other side of the split-phase. The electric dryer reads 3/4 what my B&D power monitor did before it failed so I assume in the summer I'll be dividing by .75 to get its output. Maybe I'll jump back in there when the weather isn't super cold and shake the offending hall sensor.
