So is the ability to monitor your energy usage via a web based interface just a fad? It looks like both Google and Microsoft have called it quits, and are ending their energy monitoring programs. Google is killing Google PowerMeter in a few months (September 16th, 2011), while Microsoft is shutting down Microsoft Hohm next year (May 31, 2012). I personally have a monitoring system in place as well (Brultech), but rarely pay attention to the data, so I am guessing this is happening everywhere. How much attention do you pay to your energy monitoring solutions?
I also noticed that some stores, such as Lowes, have put some of this energy monitoring hardware on clearance, so you might be able to get some good deals if you have the ability to interface these units with your own software.
As for alternatives, Pachube seems to be one of the more popular options. What do you think? Keep on reading for the original announcements.
