Didn't completely developed my thoughts.
  • High resolution feed back as google's powermeter is interesting to see how much power your fridge, hot water... are using and how often they are switching on. Think about it as SGII real time feed-back with a logging function. It can even record consumption of appliance directly plugged and on which you can't use a wattmeter.
  • Monthly/weekly consumption can be compared to tank consumption in a car and should be enough to analyze ecorenovations needed/done.
