About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.Live Energy TrackerWhere did you get the inspiration for your product?A few years ago, I wanted to reduce my home's energy use. The first thing I did was search for products that helped me know track my whole-house energy usage. There was nothing that met my needs -- all products required electrician-level knowledge to install and couldn't get the data to my phone. As a user-experience-focused engineer, I decided to prototype a solution that would work with existing utility meters and get the data to my phone, and here we are!What differentiates your product from similar products out there?We gather data from existing analog and digital utility meters, do not require an electrician, do not use any batteries (we have a small wall wart power supply), have high resolution, fast-updating data, and deliver a complete end-to-end hardware and software experience. There are no other products with the same feature set, which makes Wattvision unique! We also have a completely open API for developers that integrates with home automation players like SmartThings and many more to come.Tell us about the best and most challenging parts of the creation process.The best part of the creation process is meeting customers that rave about how your product has helped them.

So you never know where your ideas will take you. The most challenging part of the creation process is dealing with all the details. It's easy to make one of almost any product, but going to manufacturing is a completely new challenge that we have overcome in the last few years. ## Features - View your live energy usage on your phone and computer. - Save money on energy bills and compare months of energy data. - Setup is quick and easy!

It would also have been great for helping me optimize some of the home automation I have set up in regards to the AC unit. I found 3 issues that I just couldn't resolve, and eventually ended up returning the product for a refund in frustration.1. - The "gateway", a device that connects your sensor to your home network, needs a major overhaul. It can be connected to your home network in one of two ways. You can connect it via ethernet cable to your home modem or router if somehow it's close enough where you have it set up. For most of us, that's just not feasible. The challenge here is when you attempt to connect it to your wireless network. The device can't be configured for wireless connectivity by connecting via cable. It has to detect no ethernet connection and not connect to a wireless connection before it goes into a setup mode. It then creates an "Ad Hoc" network so you can connect wirelessly. The problem is you can't connect to this network on an Android phone or computer running Windows 8.1 or 10. Their support site has links that take you to a command prompt way to work around that, but I tried on two different Windows 10 computers and it just doesn't work. I also tried on a laptop with Linux, and it would connect, but couldn't browse the configuration page afterward. In the end, this step needs to be modernized and simplified for the typical end user.2. - The sensor was able to pick up the difference between the silver face of my meter and the black text on it as I pointed it at those areas, but no matter how much I turned up the sensitivity, I couldn't get it to react to the spinning plate in the meter. I spent an hour and a half trying different positioning, but in the end, the sensor just wouldn't work on my meter. That being said, it did work conceptually when I tested against black and silver media but didn't work practically with my electric meter. I beleive that either I had a malfunctioning sensor or that support could have helped through this issue with time. That brings me to the deal breaker...3. - The Wattvision support is non-existant! The phone number that is listed for support sounds like it's being redirected to someone's cell phone, not a support department. The first time I called, I got an operator message telling me that the number that I dialed was unavailable after letting it ring a handful of times. The next time I called, I got a voicemail system on the first ring, and I left contact info and a brief description of my issue. Since I couldn't reach anyone on the phone, I followed up with a ticket opened via their support email address. This quickly replied back letting me know a ticket was opened and I could access it on their site, but that's where it sat and died. It's now been over 75 hours (3+ days) since it was opened and I've not received a call nor an email from them following up on the issue. I checked the site to see if there was a response there, and there was nothing.In the end, I've had a VERY crummy experience, but I didn't rate it 1 star because there is hope and a need for this product. If Wattvision can step up their support, and the setup of the device be simplified, this has a LOT of promise. I obviously can't rely on it to resolve my current needs, but if my local utility company doesn't step up to smart meters in the next couple years, I'll check back in and see if it's worth getting later. Hopefully by then they've stepped up their game. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY BRILLIANT ! *by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2015* I'm totally amazed with the simplicity and at the convenience of this meter! As a owner of a small familiar hotel, i was very worried about the permanent increasing in the energy consumption month by month, sometimes even if we were booked at 50%, the monthly bill comes as if it was full.After installing this Wattvision meter everything changes... now at my house or at work, i know who, when and how is the energy being wasted. I discovered new things that was not working well at my hotel and now i'am able to correct them thanks to the functionality of "live history". For example rooms that were booked and not reported, this meter help me notice that.Brilliant application, brilliant product... and the best is the fast and agile customer service when installing. We are very very happy. Thanks Wattvision! ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother. Another company trying to get a steady stream of monthly cash. *by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2015* I could not get the WiFi to work. After reading several articles online I found that windows OS does not like ADHOC networks. I tried several command line commands via netsh but had no luck.I then spent hours running cat 6 cable to it only to find that the device isn't reporting data properly. It will only report info when you initially plug in the unit, then it will stop. The sensor light stays lit along with the link light of course.Another thing that is strange is when I unplug the sensor the sensor light just stays on. I left it unplugged for several minutes and the sensor light stays on. Also when I plug in the sensor the light goes out. I reseat it and the light stays back on. Seems very strange to me. Also the link light stay lit when I unplug Ethernet. I don't get it.Also I think its terrible there is no smartphone app for this just a website where if you want more than 180 days of history you have to pay $10 a month!! The whole idea of this thing is for me to save money. Lastly I think there should be a windows/mac app for this. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17770370-wv2-a-energy-sensor-and-gateway-for-analog-meters](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17770370-wv2-a-energy-sensor-and-gateway-for-analog-meters) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
