Current projectThe Household PowerMeter is a simple circuit with an AVR and a photodetector that detects flashes from the household wattmeter. The AVR software utilizes the on-chip UART serial port and sends arbitrary data to notify a host about the flashes. With this simple circuit and software one can log and analyze the total household power usage. A perl-script for logging the data into a mySQL database and a PHP page to display the data is also made.
