French users: Watch your electricity consumption with Zigbee Lixee TIC​

For users in France, we now supports the Lixee TIC sensor, a device that can be plugged into the Linky smart electric meter to watch in live how much power is your house using.

The device is simply plugged into your Linky electric meter:
