A British computer engineer connected throughout your house to Twitter. Andy Stanford-Clark gets in your profile in Twitter – which he accesses from the phone – posts saying “the heater is working on the toilet” or “the temperature of the fitness center is cool.” Ultimately, he aims to reduce the cost of electricity to his residence.

According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, the system works through a network of a dozen sensors that Stanford-Clark installed in the house – in the power meter window and the bathroom, for example.
The engineer, his wife and their two children may then have updated the status of lights outside, the temperature of the bath or whether the second floor windows are open.

Information from wireless sensors are recorded on a small chip that transmits radio signals to a central hub. As a software specialist from IBM, Stanford-Clark has developed a program that transforms these signals into words.

The system prompts Stanford-Clark when he reaches 10 pounds of energy consumption (about USD 32). Since he started to monitor the use of electricity in your home, the engineer has already saved one third of consumption of electricity in his house.
