    Those smart energy meter thingies

    Our freebie one arrived this morning.

    I'm obsessed with it already, Missus M's tumble dryer is sending it off the scale.

    So how is it designed, is it a web server embedded into the meter?

      is it the colour screen one from British Gas? I've got the original black and white one, and yes, it can be quite addictive.

      I'm considering getting a google powermeter compatible one next.

        Yes that one along with the clip thingy you attach by your meter that transmits to it. Quite interesting to watch what happens when stuff is switched on and off.

          Pretty sure if I got one of those, my lot would see it as a competition to see who could make the numbers go highest.

            Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
