The optional Current Cost Web Bridge allows you to stream your energy usage data in real-time to compatible
web portals, including Google PowerMeter, without using your PC to forward this
data. Simply connect the web bridge between the display unit and your
modem or broadband router and configure it to enable real-time updates to the web. This bridge will allow you to have direct access to
your energy usage via any internet enabled device such as a remote PC or mobile phone application 24hours a day.
