This research deals with investigation of different consumer equipment electrical characteristics. Equipment of three different households are measured and analyzed. Further a current sensor technology was chosen and consumption measurement methodology and algorithm were developed. Five consumption measurement devices for local energy monitoring system were developed and tested on different type consumers simultaneously in laboratory environment. For data storage, calculation and transmission, low power, high performance 8/16- bit AVR microcontroller ATxMega 16A4U and 433MHz low-cost RFM22B ISM FSK transceiver module was chosen.
