I also experienced the issue of alternating power draw and assumed it was a device switching on an off - which caused much head scratching. However, after a little investigation - finally reading the FAQ in the instructions. I discovered that my monitor was picking the meter from another house and alternating the reading with my own. To resolve the issue, you just need to re-twin the monitor with your own meter as per the instructions. Hope this helps! Regards, Paul. Hi Kirrus,
