Is my Meter Compatible with the PowerCost Monitor™?
The PowerCost Monitor is compatible with over 90% of meters in North America and Bermuda, including both traditional disk meters and newer digital meters. Island Solutions (Bermuda) Ltd. is authorized by BELCO to install the PowerCost Monitor on BELCO’s Meter in or at your home.
There are however specific models and limitations that prevents installation on every meter. The following list highlights the most common digital meters that have a pulse for the sensor to trigger off of and those that do not. For disk meters, if the sensor can "see" the black mark and disk from the front, then alignment is possible, provide dthere is nop plate covering the disk.
If your meter is not listed, or if you have any questions as to why your meter is not supported, please feel free to email islandsolutionsltd@logic.bm and a trained technician will respond to your query.

The PowerCost Monitor™ consists of two components - a small display (which you can place anywhere inside your home) and a sensor unit (which you attach to your electricity meter).
The display unit, located inside the home, receives a wireless signal from the sensor unit which is attached to the outside of your electricity meter. The sensor unit can be easily installed by the homeowner. The sensor unit transmits your meter information to the in-home display unit where your electricity information is displayed in kilowatt hours and dollars and cents.
The PowerCost Monitor™ is not a utility meter. The PowerCost Monitor™ simply displays your electricity usage in dollars and cents and kilowatt-hours. It is not a utility meter and is not intended for billing purposes. Data displayed on the PowerCost Monitor™ is provided for informational purposes only. Owing to timing of meter reads by your utility and combinations of flat rate charges and consumption-based charges, the "Total" readings on your display will not exactly match what you see on your electric bill.
