Wattson OptiSmart Gateway - Received, Installed & Running in 10 minutes ! LIVE USAGE, GENERATION & NET USAGE Accessible from Anywhere to Everyone

Mark Elliott from Energeno just sent me the New Wattson OptiSmart Device, a Wattson Gateway which gets Usage and Generation Signals from the Wattson Transmitter and Broadcasts it to an Online Portal - it is replacing the Wattson Anywhere device & portal that I beta tested for several months before and is much better, especially for the portal part -

Powered by EnergyHive, the Portal gives State of Art Live Usage & Generation info, Power and Energy Graphs, the Part of Energy used at Home vs Imported from the Grid, and much more ...

Check out my portal available to everyone here: http://wattson.energyhive.com/dashboard/DIYESSKit

Here are all the pictures taken during the very easy install ...

Another Wattson purchased in the UK just arrived

I know, again, but you will soon see why I get so many ...

Wattson & Habitat Milk : Same Design and more ...

I realized that from the very beginning, but only now I am writing something about it

This is a Clock from Habitat, the famous furniture store from London, UK, created by Terence Conran - Conran Shop & more -

I got it when Clément was a baby, back in 2002, in an Habitat store here because I like its design, now it is in Béa's bedroom used as a simple clock

It is made of a nice white plastic, semi see through, you can see big digital numbers and it has random LED lighting colours inside the top part .... 

Do you see any similarities with a certain Wattson now maybe ?

Time, Alarm, Snooze, and LED lighting Switch

Side DC power supply input

This is the LED lighting: in the dark it is really nice, changing color smoothly every 3 seconds or so

This is the original box : it says: " LED Alarm clock with colour changing night light "

Conclusion: The DIY Kyoto members, when first designing Wattson probably got a lot of inspiration from this Habitat Clock, which is a great thing because the result is awesome - IMO - :-)
