"Your Smart Meter's Data Belongs in Your Personal Cloud"
http://j.mp/IJyoKl (Wired)
"The data that flows to the console, by way of AC networking and Zigbee
wireless, also flows to my home LAN and thence, if I choose, to the
web. At one point I was sending it to Google PowerMeter. When that
service ended last fall, I had the option to send the data elsewhere.
I haven't, yet. That's partly because the realtime console delivers
most of the impressive benefit we get from using the gadget. And it's
partly because, well, frankly, I worry that quantified self
style-geekery could become a slippery slope for me. Nonetheless my
smart meter is, at least potentially, part of my personal cloud. But
that's not how it will typically be. If a power utility installs your
smart meter, it'll phone home and send the data there. Will you be
able to get it back? Maybe."
