The Kill-A-Watt Programmable Timer combines a digital programmable timer (for controlling when your gadgets are switched on and off) with an energy consumption meter. The programmable timer allows you to schedule a full weeks worth of on and off switching of your gadgets, where each day can be a different to the next.
The Kill-A-Watt Programmable Timer also includes an over-current power consumption trip to protect your gadgets. There’s a surge protector with a slow start to minimise the chances of a surge damaging your gadgets too. To make things really easy, the timer has an internal backup battery that allows you to set the timer from your armchair, rather than crouching down at the plug socket!
To track your energy usage, the timer will record your power usage down to the minute, giving you an accurate picture of how much money you’re spending running your gadgets. This can then help you decide how often you switch your gadgets on and off via the programmable timer.
All measurements and settings are stored on the internal memory, and are thus protected from power cuts and from the unit being switched off. Plenty of functionality in a truly useful energy saving gadget for $69.99.
