What is the Current Cost Portal

You can now post your data from your EnviR to your personal Current Cost web page by using a Bridge.

This means you do not have to use a PC / Mac to now receive your data.

Further details about the Current Cost portal can be found here http://my.currentcost.com/

How many channels does my Bridge upload?

So you know your EnviR can receive the signal from 10 Current Cost sources, yes?
