The smart plug resembles the size of an Apple AirPort which will cost you around $ 79. The smart plugs will fit over your existing outlets. It will act as tiny a Wi-Fi router which is running Linux. Each plug can gather data and also control devices. You can view the energy usage data from any WiFi-enabled PC. Another smart feature of this PicoWatt Smart Plugs is that it can eliminate stand-by power.
Tenrehte is trying to benefit from the slow pace of smart meter consumption and power Company’s discretion about sharing consumption data over any wireless home network because of its security concerns. The Picowatt will allow you to set up an energy monitoring on your own.
