Energy Monitoring

The electrical energy usage in the Project M home is monitored continuously and minute by minute costs are available.

This live data may be seen here.

This is achieved by using a software product called Calc-Electric which uses a webcam to read the electricity meter second by second. The data from Calc-Electric is interfaced via simple text and xml files which are uploaded to our webserver for you to view. We intend to use other cameras interfaced to Calc-Electric software to provide real-time monitoring of gas and water usage.
