Abstract

A monitoring system comprising a plurality of utility meters, each utility meter being arranged to determine the consumption of a respective utility within a dwelling; a transmitter associated with each utility meter, wherein each transmitter is arranged to wirelessly transmit to a receiving device located within the dwelling consumption data that represents the determined consumption of the respective utility, wherein the receiving device is arranged to determine a cost for each of the respective utilities consumed over a specified time period based on the received consumption data and/or to determine the cost of all of the respective utilities consumed over the specified time period, wherein the receiving device includes a display for displaying the cost of each of the respective utilities consumed and/or the cost of all of the respective utilities consumed.
