I second that, I think it would be very helpful for some and cool for others if the Chumby could either connect to the Google Powermeter app or to devices that monitor energy for the entire home. Not sure how many people would be interested, but many of the systems out there now are pretty expensive just for the display that sits on your counter.

I was actually thinking about buying a Chumby until I saw there was no such app yet, figured I'd suggest it, but someone beat me to it.
