The Kilowatt Clock is an unobtrusive way to observe your own energy usage, in real time, using an interface that's already familiar to everyone. The clock itself is a modified Quartz wallclock, equipped with a simple microcontroller circuit and a bit of analog electronics. It receives both power and data from a small wall-wart transformer. The actual energy measurements come from The Energy Detective (http://theenergydetective.com), an inexpensive sensor that installs in your home's circuit breaker panel.
