After the Fibaro Starter Kit hooked me on energy monitoring, I added these for my always-on appliances." categories: - Internet of Things tags: - Aeon Labs - Aeotec - Automate Asia - smart switch - Z-Wave --- Bought the [Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Smart Switch 6 (Gen5)](https://aeotec.com/products/aeotec-smart-switch-7/) from Automate Asia for **S$110**. The product is pretty new and it is not listed on their website yet. After getting my hands on the [Fibaro Starter Kit](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2016/06/21/the-start-of-my-smart-home-journey/) which includes a wall plug, I got kinda addicted to monitor my energy usage of my always-on switches like the television switch, Internet switch and computer switch. Right now the electricity traffic in Singapore is S$0.0183/kWh till 30th June 2016 You can enter the value in Fibaro Home Center and it will give you your electricity usage and the cost breakdown by hour, day, week and month. Next up, I will be getting the [Aeon Labs Aeotec Home Energy Meter](https://aeotec.com/products/aeotec-home-energy-meter/) to install it at my circuit breaker so I can mesaure the whole house electricity usage! Oh and the Smart Switch 6 does comes with one USB port at the side to allow you charge your USB device easily.
