You should include a link to your site from the blog. I was borderline interested in the product, wanted to see what it was about and went hunting for a link and then became uninterested after I couldn't find one. I think this was just discussed on HN too. There may be better input on that thread.

I noticed that the URL was "blog.wattvision.com" and replaced the "blog" with "www". Worked like a charm ...

Dammit Savraj, in one fell swoop you not only brought out a super-cool greet tech appliance but also realised the dream that Clickpass never could - true seamless sign-on. The King is dead, long live the King!

Hahah! Thanks Peter. And thanks for the escalation to your google contact, they totally fixed the issue. ;)

Congrats! Does this hardware work with more meter types than the beta hardware? My meter was not one of those that it initially worked with, so I sent in a picture of it, and I would very much like to get this working.

I'm interested in this kind of product, but I live in an apartment and don't have access to my electric meter (or if I do, I definitely can't install things on it). Is there something like this I could use on individual outlets?

Depending on what state you live in, your apartment building is required to give you access to the meter that measures your apartment (to verify that you're getting charged correctly). If you ask nicely you might be able to convince your landlord to let you hang one of these (especially if the meter is indoors). I proposed such a thing to my landlord and they were interested in knowing more.

Do the WattVision guys have plans to create sensors that can replace light switches and receptacles? Perhaps with wireless mesh networking? That would be sweet :~).

Our current release is "minimum viable product" ;)

Sure I understand... I guess what I was asking is if you had any plans to create the products I mentioned above.
