Recently had some new GFCI outlets installed in my house like these – The Phantom GFCI - Popular Mechanics – the addition of an LED letting me know if the outlet is live is brilliant! And then I saw this prototype – a light switch that responds to smoke alarms. I love the idea of embedding cheap electronics into our electrical system – I’d really love it if somehow my switches and outlets could all report current energy use; that would help me start to change behaviour re conservation.
