[OZAPRS] smart meters ?

[Gary Stern]

Thinking about, it should really be too hard to self monitor power 
consumption, total, circuit by circuit etc.... and even possibly work 
out power factors, I wouldn't doubt there is a setup somewhere on the 
market, usb to a computer and store everything, do your own calculations 
and then you could check these smart meters...

Any bets on their accuracy :-)
