thing/company I've seen this year. Wattcost tracks when different
electrical appliances are turned on or off (it can tell what
brand of refrigerator you have, for instance, just by the
electrical signal it shows on your power line/meter). Reduce your
carbon footprint.
"Will be coming to United States in mid 2015 for $149."
(Can be pre-ordered now for $99)

2) Wireless Sensor Tags
http://wirelesstag.net/
I've been trying out the system and been quite impressed,
particularly with the range of their inexpensive 433MHz devices:
"Wireless Sensor Tags and Kumo Sensors monitor and record motion
events, door/window open/close events, temperature/humidity/soil
moisture and water leaks. They can send you emails, notify you on
your phone when temperature or RH is too low or too high, or each
tagged item has been moved even only slightly, or when each door
has been opened or closed. View graphs/data-logs of temperature,
humidity, motion events at each wireless sensors anywhere with
Internet. Attach to easy to lose items in your house and find
them by beeping each tag from any browser or your phone.
Out-of-range and back-in-range notification features come
standard on all types of sensor tags. KumoApp Engine allows
automation algorithms to be defined in Javascript to trigger
Internet connected devices such as WeMo swtiches, Nest Thermostat
and Phillips Hue upon events from sensors, schedules and
geofences.
These are the folks behind it:
