And that's not even touching upon the electrical hardware "device" that would ostensibly "read" the household appliances. <br /> <br /> I don't know if the means to this Smart Grid idea has been figured out yet tech-wise, but keep the public informed on such a compelling and potentially revolutionary idea. Thank you for the wonderful post &amp; pictures!
