Behold! A Power Meter that Tweets Your Usage
You’ve heard about plants that send out tweets when they need water. Now someone has created a power meter that tweets its daily power usage to a Twitter account. This is interesting because it allows you to socially share your household’s power usage, thus perhaps making you a more responsible citizen. Not only would you be encouraged to be more green, it’ll help you cut down your electrical bills.
The only issue is that it might not be so easy for laypeople to pick up the open source schematics and do it up. In the future I’m sure we can all look forward to built-in integration with Twitter or the web for most households or products. Profile for the twittering powermeter –> @tweetawatt
