Plugwise circle for perilex

Ruud,
First: I'm pretty sure they won't. There's not a large market for these plugs and it won't give them $M's of revenue.
Why would you want to use a Circle on your ventilation system?
Most of the ventilation units that use a perilex plug have a switch in the kitchen which has 3 options:
1- ventilation=on
2- ventilation=faster
3- ventilation=fastest
Result: you may never turn it OFF. A Circle with perilex would turn it OFF.
What I did to switch the mechanical ventilation can be found on my website, under 'How?', section "ventilation"

So if you want to use it to monitor electricity usage you could do this:
-Use an RFXCOM RFXMeter and RFXPower
-Use the ventilation systems specs to find out the power usage. Use this as a 'fact'.
I don't think you can use a Circle to measure the power usage on a ventilation system with Perilex plug as these have 3 Live wires (hence the 5-pin perilex plug).
Hope this helps a bit..
Cheers
