At the Embedded Systems Expo, Ubiquitous exhibited a power strip which features a built-in wireless LAN, called the iRemoTap. This power tap can display the power status of devices connected to it from a PC or mobile phone, and switch their power on and off remotely.
This system enables you to switch off devices you've forgotten about, and receive a mail or tweet if power consumption exceeds a specific figure. This lets you know if you need to conserve power, without always having to keeping tabs on power consumption.
