20% or more of electricity usage in an average home is used to heat the water sitting in a tank. If the temperature is controlled effectively you should be able use reduce your electricity usage by at least a few percent. What I aim to do with this project is to build a device that monitors water temperature, electricity usage, allow remote changes of temperature, remote viewing of hot water statistics, and lastly auto learning of temperature control for maximum reduction in electricity usage.

This is a work in progress expect more to come while a decide how and where to move forward.
