“we developed the SmartSwitch, a dimmer switch equipped with a network connection and a miniature brake pad. The switch provides tactile feedback about the amount of energy being used either within your household or by the electrical grid as a whole. Our goal with this device is to help you make smarter decisions about energy use at the very moment that you’re pulling electricity from the grid.“

Neat.  My TED gives me real-time feedback on electricity drawn after a light is turned on/off.  Putting the feedback at the on/off moment is even better.
