Smart metre
A smart metre is a more sophisticated version of your normal gas or electricity metre (in fact, a single smart metre may monitor both) that is linked to your energy provider and can also be linked to a computer in your home. Not yet available, it will eliminate the need for estimated bills, and allow you to monitor your own usage: which devices are using the most energy and when. Smart metres will generally also store up to a month of usage data.
