Here it is folks; these are the droids you are looking for. Or the home energy monitoring system you've been waiting for. Or not, remains to be seen. Let's keep the expectations in check.
Anywho, Nucleus is the code name for GE's new, yes, home energy monitoring system built on top of smart-meter, you know, that thing almost no one currently has. However, if you're one of the lucky few that does, this looks to be seriously dead simple. Once installed Nucleus will collect and store data usage for up to three years. So those spreadsheets you've been keeping while you monitor your toaster; throw those own. Nucleus has you covered. Let's just hope they have an export-to-csv option.
GE showed off the technology at CES, and while I wasn't there, I did just watch this introductory video, and let's be honest, isn't that exactly the same thing? I think so. As the video shows, Nucleus provides some pretty rich detail on your energy usage which can be viewed from your desktop/laptop or mobile (with what appears to be an iPhone, even though the app design looks more like Android, I'm not sure which is correct).
