Product Description
The TED 5000-G is the core model of the TED 5000 series. Shedding the optional display, the 5000-G allows you to use your computer (Internet) or mobile device to track your energy data directly, using a built-in web server. Includes one set of CTs, one MTU (each of these devices is easily installed in your electrical box) and one Gateway that plugs in to an outlet and hooks up to your home router. As with all TED 5000 models, the TED 5000-G gives you access to Google PowerMeter. What's new in the TED 5000 Series? The path to cost-saving home energy efficiency begins with measuring, and the road just got a whole lot smoother. The TED 5000 has all of the great features of the TED 1000: Real-time monitoring accurate to 2%, displays of watts used, cost, and voltage, and monthly peaks and totals, all of which have a phenomenal impact on your ability to save money. Sensitive down to 1 watt, the TED 5000 has the potential to change the way you think about electricity in your house for good. The central new component of the TED 5000 is its ability to work with both its included "gateway", and with Google PowerMeter. The gateway lets you see your energy info in any web browser. If you like, you can also view your energy data on the web by linking your TED 5000 to PowerMeter. View both real-time and historical data on any computer attached to your home network (even your smart phone!). The gateway connects with an Ethernet jack, and embedded TED Footprints software (now Windows, Mac, and Linux compatible). The Gateway stores 60 minutes of Second-data, 2 days of Minute-data, 7 days of Hourly-data, 90 days of Daily-data, and 10 years of Monthly-data. All of this data can be downloaded to your computer, or uploaded to Google PowerMeter. How cool is that?

5000-G is compatible with homes with Single Electrical Panels and Solar/wind installations (will only record the net of generation/production - to record generation/production separately, please order the TED 5002-G). This model does not include the display monitor. For display monitor, order TED 5000-C.
Nitty Gritty
For most people it would probably be worth while to get an electrician to install their TED unit. After I got mine up and running it has worked great!
