But I have a T.E.D. that works for me.

just spotted this gem:

Tweet-a-Watt is a DIY wireless power monitoring system. The project uses an 'off the shelf' power monitor called the Kill-a-Watt and adds wireless reporting. Each plug transmits the power usage at that outlet to a central computer receiver. The receiver can then log, graph and report the data. This pack contains nearly everything* necessary to build a single outlet monitor and receiver. To monitor additional outlets, you will need an add-on transmitter pack. One outlet can monitor up to 1500 Watts.

The starter pack contains:

* 2 XBee modules (one for receiver, one for transmitter)
* 2 XBee adapter kits (ditto)
* 1 USB FTDI cable (for updating, configuring and receiving data from XBee)
* 1 bag of parts including 10,000uF capacitor, 220uF capacitor, 2 1% 10K resistors, 2 1% 4.7K resistors, 5mm green LED, 6" rainbow ribbon cable, and 2 pieces of 1/8" and 1/16" heatshrink

* Please note, a P3 Kill-a-Watt is NOT included!
( XBee 802.15.4 protocol 1mW wireless module, good for point-to-point, multipoint and convertible to a mesh network point.)

I'm NOT selling or have any connection with this company. I was looking at their site
perusing the Ice Cube (blue vacuum display) Clock, and saw the tweet.

Lamplight linked to Tweet-A-Wat in April. I remember following the link to You-Tube. Worth the trip.

And it was Adafruit.
