According to http://www.plogginternational.com/ the Plogg “is a combined smart meter plug (kWh) and data logger, especially suited for metering, monitoring and control at the point of use – the appliance level.”

I would add not any kind of smart meter. Indeed, each Plogg is a sensor node, namely a small embedded computer that communicates with it peers (and possibly a number of computers/mobiles) using wireless connectivity.

Since I started working on a project that aims at making people aware of the energy consumption of appliances in a plain old office of the Cudrefin02 foundation I thought testing the Ploggs would be a good thing.

I’ll report on my Ploggs experiences on a regular basis on this blogg, um sorry I mean blog.
