Wattvision: what are you guys doing differently then Googles plan for web based energy readings?

Well, for one thing, Wattvision exists. Google put out a press release. For another, Wattvision works with existing power meters. Google (and pretty much everybody else) is waiting for the magical day that everybody gets new meters.

(Just to be clear, I'm not part of Wattvision.)


To an outside observer, Wattvision doesn't exist yet either :). But given that I doubt I'll be getting a new meter anytime soon, it does seem a better bet. If anyone from Wattvision is reading, I would love to be a beta tester...


Hi Avi -- email me at savraj [at] wattvision.com and we'll see what we can do! And Gruseom is spot on with his answers -- thanks Gruseom!


I would like to beta test as well. I live in an apartment though so I guess I'll have to convince our officemanager to install this at work. Will give it a shot if you need beta testers.


Google seem to be intending some kind of magic platform that other peoples meters will send data to (kind of like amee/pachube), whilst Wattvision is device & app. Presumably Wattvision could output data to the google platform. Either way they're different products.
