I'm starting to work this project (http://pluggy.is-a-geek.com/arduino/index.html) for my new house.

AVR controller with Linux server, (or DD-WRT direct connection, USB modem compatible).
The CNY70 (which is a reflective sensor, so rather than buying a 4000$ meter, just attach this to the spinning disc u can see in the meter inside, there is a side which is painted in black, so that outputs as (HIGH) ) can be found here in ekt2 (Katranji) very useful for electricity meter, with bang of buck. :D
Home security system,(maybe using the MTC online SMS free service for any alert); *Gas leak*Smoke alert*High drain electricity or water*

Automatic lightning (custom)

Automatic Heat System for each room, using a cheap temperature sensor. (I may use the idea of the ethernet connection, relating to: every room has an ethernet, so no more extra wiring)

I will be using any 40 pins AVR microcontroller.

And the most important thing is, Internet bandwidth monitor l0l...

Any extra info or ideas, i will appreciate this... :)

Nice idea :) I have been thinking os such a "logging" system.

Its been some time since your post; how did things go? Have you actually started working?

Please update this thread for others like me :)

By the way, I was checking about the CNY70 sensor & found this page http://www.aaamc.nl/softio/cny/. I wonder what would the guy checking the meter think & what would the company do in this regard lol?
To avoid any unnecessary trouble with the elctricity company, I guess what would be better to monitor the electricity consumption of the main line entering the house (which btw would give a way to compare the home consumption to one recorded by the meter).

All the best

Maybe, and just maybe you would store the values onto a SD-Card. There is an addon shield to it.
