This has and was already done by researchers at UW. Intel probably collaborated with them to build the commercial product. If you read into it, this research is an excellent application of simple principles.]]>Apr 15th 2010 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/Apr 15th 2010 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/Yup you are correct except this was Shwetak Patel's PhD dissertation while he was a Georgia Tech (so it is probably licensed from Gatech and not UW). But Patel is now a UW professor and collaborates with Intel Research Seattle - BTW UW has done research in measuring water usage from a single point so if you see Intel using that then you know it was UW :-)]]>Apr 15th 2010 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/You folks are correct. We have been doing this for 3 years now, but no we do not collaborate with Intel on this.

We have progressed our sensing technology quite a bit. We will soon post our new research and videos. Stay tuned, it will be exciting :)

Always good to have your stuff featured on Engadget :-)

i wonder what they've added other than a wireless sensor. i have one of the sheevaplugs and i wouldnt mind running this code]]>Apr 15th 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/Does that mean Intel are using ARM processors ?.

I think the additional hardware to do the measurements is probably not that complicated (The software probably is). Throw in a zigbee transmitter and you're done!]]>Apr 15th 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/Apr 15th 2010 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/Apr 15th 2010 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/Apr 15th 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/Apr 15th 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intels-experimental-sensor-analyzes-appliance-power-consumption/
