We are building a Arduino based smart meter, and are looking for participants to help fill the database with power usage data.

The complete package comes with:

Arduino UNO
Ethernet shield
power sensor board
two snap on 120A current transducers
9vac wallwart
Proto Screw Shield
The current transducers clip over your main power leads into your power box and the small wall transformer measures voltage and powers the Arduino. The total cost is $120 + $14 S&H (US), and you get free power monitoring / data access on our upcoming website and with Apple and Android Apps.

Off Grid versions are also available.
