FYI: "Nabi" is short for "Navigation".

The number in the middle is how much power you are generating. The number by the lightbulb is how much you are using and the number by the power lines is how much you are contributing to the grid, i.e., the difference. If the arrows were the other way around, then you would be drawing energy from the grid. The device also keeps track on the money side of things.

Great little unit, been testing it for a month, and it really helps tell you how much diffrent things in the house use. Put it on your TV (so you can always read it) for best results. :)]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/11/sharps-jh-g51x-real-time-power-interface/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/11/sharps-jh-g51x-real-time-power-interface/
However I am concerned that convoluted manner of which electricity companies conduct themselves when householders switch providers might not change drastically as the smart-meter advocate protests, I still believe in some diluted form that the decisions will not be entirely left to the consumer although they firmly should be.

To top it all I bet the features we get in the first generation products do not compare to their Japanese counterpart, i.e. when I want to contact my provider how about a free VoIP call face to face - in the UK yea right, start looking toward the era of the mandatory digital signal for that!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM
