For starters, perhaps IAM's should have their own area on the Forum?

Anyway, do you guys have a date yet for the MkII IAM's for the UK market that measure AC Watts? Volts x Amps x Power Factor

Still no confirmation that they measure true AC power but I will report as soon as my ones arrive...

I have been testing my new IAM's on a few different loads and comparing readings with an alternate plugin energy meter which also displays power factor and voltage.

New IAM's do indeed seem to read true ac power Volts x Amps x PF.

(My pond pump gadget only has a power factor of 0.31)

So the unit reads fairly accurately but it would seem the Envi model display ignores low readings e.g. 8 watts but is okay with a 20 watt load.

The IAM's seem to be okay over a range of 16 metres.
