Behold the Yello Sparzähler online Electricity Meter! Very design-y.

The colour yellow of the innovative “Yello Sparzähler online” communicates that energy saving is yellow as well. It transfers domestic power consumption data to the user’s computer, so he can check online and in real-time how much his fridge, his washing machine, his hi-fi stereo system etc. actually consume (in terms of watt, kWh, Euro). Thus, he has complete cost control and may easily find electricity hogs. He is able to use energy resources more sensibly and economically. The safe- and pleasant-looking casing has a yellow or white (within the living area) front cover. A semi-transparent LED displays the meter reading at first sight. The pulsing “sign of life” is a smart modern interpretation of the common meter wheel.
