Monitor Household Energy Usage

Marcel Wanders is helping us to monitor our electric usage with a simple device the Wattcher. In his words...
“The design is very clean and has urgency in pointing out your energy consumption. The Wattcher is more than just a product; it is a strategy that stimulates awareness.”

What it monitors:

• Current power consumption (in Watts): how much energy you're using at this moment.
• Daily consumption (in kiloWattday): your total electricity consumption in the last 24 hours.
• Target consumption (in %): daily consumption compared with your own target. Are you really saving energy?
  

...all without using much energy itself. The combined consumption of all Wattcher components (sensor, sending unit and display) is less than 1 Watt.
