Everyone and their brother and sister seems to be trying to capture the hearts and minds of the power companies to manage in-home electrical usage.  Do the power companies have either?

One - Take a Crestron Prodigy System with a wireless thermostat. Any Crestron control system can be used - what's interesting about this one is you can put it in for a lot less than any climate logging system I know about.

Two - Ambleside's Sensor Logging service moves data from Crestron to Google.  We can move lots of interesting information - temperature + humidity, power usage, exercise machine usage with heart rate-anything really.  In this case we're recording the temperature of our office.
