SEE YOUR ENERGY
USE IN REAL TIME

A Powerpal energy monitor shows you exactly how much each appliance costs to run, and if you’re with Amber, when is the cheapest time to run them.

Understand exactly what each appliance is costing you

The Powerpal device connects your smart meter to an app on your phone, so you can see your energy usage and costs in real-time. This allows you to identify what is wasting the most power and make more energy-efficient decisions, like upgrading old appliances or changing usage behaviours.

Powerpals are completely FREE, for eligible Victorian households, under the government Victorian Energy Upgrades program.

Outside of Victoria you can purchase your device for $129

Great product.

Great product. I can instantly see what power I am using from the grid. This helps me plan when to use appliances when I have good solar coming in. For example I have changed my pool filtration time to suit the Solar power and not use grid power. love it.

I'm very pleased with the device, the software, and the support I receive from Powerpal. A gardener accidentally cut the wire to the light sensor and Powerpal sent a replacement device immediately.

Excellent

excellent, I particularly like the clever circular display. It makes spotting anomalies easy. It also shows clearly the operation of hot water heaters and other loads that previously were invisible.

Excellent concept

Excellent concept. It really does provide great data that enables positive change and can provide big savings. Simple to use with clean clear graphics and comprehensive information on power usage. Helps substantiate (or not) the benefits of solar and shows what and when power is being used.

I was surprised at how useful the Powerpal app is

I was surprised at how useful the Powerpal app is. The phone app connects via Bluetooth, and receives updated household power consumption data every few seconds. The special graph in the app shows the amount of power being consumed in real time. Turn on an appliance, and within seconds the graph shows the change. And with your electricity plan costs entered into the app, it shows you the actual cost per hour. Turn your fridge off for a few seconds, and you'll see the difference on the graph.

App is great.

App is great. Haven't had any problems yet. App looks appealing. There aren't heaps of confusing menu options. The real time data is awesome! We can see the power spikes when using appliances like the kettle or air-conditioning and how much it costs to run. Different graph options to show the usage data. You can pick which one is easiest for you to understand. The appliance itself is quite small and discrete. Runs on a battery so it doesn't add to the power bill. I highly recommend.
