Hardware

1. How do smart meters hook up to electrical circuitry in a home?
2. Will an Arduino-based solution have a problem with interacting with such a large voltage?
3. How will the user change preferences and settings on the device?
4. What components are necessary for user to interact with monitor?
5. How much information should be shown on the monitor's screen?
6. What is the device's optimal size in order to facilitate user interaction well?
7. Research possible patent issues
