Through sensors that connect directly to your breaker box curb monitors everything in your house that uses electricity.
Curb knows which things are turned on how much power they re using and what that will cost. They do have the potential for being a great. Just be aware it s not nearly as user install friendly as the curb. Had to monitor every circuit in the house separately 2.
My largest complaint is that it only monitors 18 clamps and i have over 55 breakers in the main power box. The curb home energy monitors six dimensions of real time energy usage data at 8 000 times per second and comes with 18 dedicated hardware sensors for accurate appliance level data.
