Just sent this message via Kickstarter to the Wattvision people:
This is pretty awesome.
I know it's unrelated, but something that would be REALLY awesome is something like this that worked for water usage.
I manage several properties and a running toilet left unfixed for a few weeks can easily rack up $500, $1000, or more in costs.
If I could put a device on my water meters for each property which would alert me immediately when the usage increased by a certain amount, that would ABSOLUTELY be worth paying for - especially as the price of water has gone up so much.
(I read an article about 6 months ago about some communities in the southern U.S. where the residents are literally being priced out of being able to afford running water.)
PLEASE consider working on this. Right now, the only way a landlord will know about a leaking faucet or toilet is 1) if the tenant lets her/him know (fat chance, it's nothing urgent to them, if they even notice it, or 2) after they water bill has skyrocketed in a month - and then it's way too late :(
