As some of you may know, we have a CurrentCost meter in our house. And we both have iPhones. So it seemed obvious to provide a method to display the power usage of our house in an iPhone-compatible way so that we can check up on things while we’re out. [...] This invention is one George Blue and I came up with about 3 years ago. The problem it solves should be familiar to all motorists – you’re driving along at night with full beam headlamps on when you spot an oncoming car and have to drop to dipped beams.
