The concept of monitoring your devices for power usage is okay by me. But a monthly fee to do so? GTFO! I am *really* not just saying this to be snide, but are they serious??
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Maybe it's just me... but the cost of the devices plus the service fee would cost me more than the wasted energy I think.
LOL.
I agree. It would be cheaper to just leave everything you own on permanently!
Also would you not have to have a compatible boiler in order for it to be controlled by this?
How much would that cost to install into your boiler (considering how much gas fitters charge for replacing a simple pump)?

You nailed it buddy. I think they are looking at the wrong vampires.
Don't forget about all the resources consumed in designing the device and building each one.
