Home Power Meters in Australia

Just doing some research on home power meters, because I’m almost a homeowner and all.

It turns out that the “ClimateSmart” meters which are installed for free by the Brisbane city council are actually rebadged “Efergy Elite” units.

There’s been a couple of mentions around the place of people hacking these devices to get proper networked data out of them, but nothing conclusive so far.

I’m thinking a better option might be the  Current Cost Envi, which is compatible with Google Powermeter.

There’s some CurrentCost apps on Pachube, too.
