If you do ever create your own, you might want to try siphoning some power from the mains to power your Arduino and while you're at it attach a XBee or Wifi unit to the Arduino for remote monitoring.
(And then once you get to that point take a look at the Tweet-A-Watt: http://www.ladyada.net/make/tweetawatt/ http://www.ladyada.net/make/tweetawatt/)
- trafficlight 15y agoThe Tweet-A-Watt was one of the first things I came across. In my situation, wireless seemed overkill considering my power plug is always within 10 feet of the PC.
- yellowbkpk 15y agoYea, good point. I was thinking of the case where you wanted to monitor something like your refrigerator. I suppose my TV has a computer next to it at all times too. Great project!
