mfi wifi power strip
« on: November 21, 2013, 10:22:12 AM »
For those of you interested in monitoring power draw of your bikes, here's a wifi-enabled power strip (monitor + control). Looks pretty solid.

Will it catch fire like the Kill-a-watts?

I would love to be able to monitor my power usage again!

Really only one way to find out!

How much current does the Empulse charger draw on 120V? Sometimes those amp ratings are more for short-term charging .. kill-a-watt is rated for 15A as well.
