Synthesized from 1 mentionPowerPal attaches to the smart meter's blinking LED to measure energy consumption optically, requiring no electrical work. It costs $79 and syncs with an app for real-time data. Its simplicity is a key advantage, but it only works with smart meters that have an LED, limiting applicability in areas without smart meters. It cannot do per-room tracking.

Weaknesses
