Google Power Meter
by Andrew McCaskey
Ready for Holiday Giving
The partnership announcement between Google and Energy, Inc for sale of devices that will interface directly with Google Power Meter is great news. For $200, a home owner can get a device that attaches to the common 200amp service panel, contains it’s own web server, and measures the power consumption for the household.
The system is more or less real-time, as opposed to the overnight batch processing reporting that power company provided “smart meters” provide with a 24 hours lag.
This is going to be snapped up by geeks all over the country – as it’s a way to get control of the power consumption in the home, and at the same time have some geekly fun. And with the price point, it won’t take too many months of monitoring and gaining geekly cred with friends and colleagues to break even and turn it into a money saving machine.
