PowerCost Monitor BLI 2800
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
This looks like a great product. Nobody seems to have mentioned the competitors, though, which include some pretty mainstream brands.

I believe I saw the B&D model on an episode of "Ask This Old House". Not sure if any competitors offer a web or iPhone interface, or just the receiver devices, but in any case this is a useful form of feedback that will likely become a standard feature as the monitoring equipment gets cheaper.
