No, it was CAD, but I remembered it.

I don't know how well it works, but it seems like it might need some "training". For the price, though, it might be worth getting one just to see how useful it is.

There is another whole home energy monitor called Sense, but personally I would lean toward Neurio because of the open platform.

yea if the "learning" consistes of going and pluging in and slipping all switches so it learns its pattern, im ok with. But im afraid it wont know one set of lights from the other.

Plus im setting up a whole aquarium on a coontroler, so idk how it will tell the difference between all that. I just feel it might be able to see power changes but not pin point it to the Amazon Fire in bedroom vs the 4 others, or the multitude of electronics i have plugged in at my house.

these are the logical next HA step because you add this into an intelligent app/ecosystem and you can take tremendous control of your house over.

why in the world apple or google hasn't put a stake in the ground & nailed this category is beyond me.

i feel like i could grab a few good developers and sort this whole thing out.

you got x10 & zwave plus wink and smartthings paving the way of what is POSSIBLE but they're just not quite 'getting it'.

i can see the vision, why cant they?
