It is a near real time (a second or two of lag) power monitor. The electric company installed it for free for signing up for a 2 year contract, and since I am planning to stay with them anyway.
Here is with the dryer on: (IMG:http://i44.tinypic.com/20hne36.jpg) Here is with it off: (IMG:http://i40.tinypic.com/o53hg1.jpg) It has a bunch of screens that display different data, including daily/weekly/monthly cost estimates. And the remaining incandescants in the house have to go! |

Thats a pretty cool toy to have. My fiancee is all gung-ho on the fluorescent bulb replacement. She ends up replacing hers more often than I replace my regular bulbs plus the light SUX. I have tube florescents in the garage and kitchen but all the others I've had are horrible for producing clean light. I'll take the extra hit on my electric bill for light that doesn't cause eye strain. I think my fiancee would have a problem with big tube fluorescents in every room...
