Pretty cool way to measure power for newer homes who have the smart meters installed. I wonder what hardware it will support for retrofits?

Luckily, we just got our meters installed, and both are smart meters. I will definately be trying this out as soon as it is released.

Cool. I hope our friends at Brultech, TED, Kill-A-Watt, etc get involved.

boyfly, I merged your thread with this one, since they both discussed the same thing.

I am wondering if Brultech could comment on what their plans are, they always said they would rather focus on hardware.
