    1. CurrentCost ENVI collecting the data from our junction box under the stairs
    2. USB data cable plugged into resurrected 2002 TiBook
    3. CurrentCost to Pachube software running on the TiBook uploads via Cosm’s API

    This does mean having a laptop on and running whenever I want Cosm to get updated, which seems to defeat the object a bit, but I’ve tweaked the power settings and have the screen off, so the consumption goes down from 20W to 9W.
