Can anyone recommend a good, cheap wireless energy monitor?

You know, one of those ones that attaches to the electricity supply where it enters the building and then you can tell how much power is being used as you turn on/off different appliances.

That has to be plugged into each item individually.

I want something more like this kind of thing: http://www.electricity-monitor.com/wireless-energy-monitors-c-37.html
which shows you what the total energy use is as you wander around the home turning things on and off.

You can have our unused one.
We'd have to smash a wall down to attach it. I deemed that excessive energy on my behalf.

Thank you! That's awesome.

Won't your electricity company give you one for free?

Not that they've mentioned.
