### Ethics
_Do not use this for nefarious purposes._ If you do, I don't want to know about it, I am not and will not be responsible for your lack of common decency and/or foresight. However, if you find a clever non-evil use for this, by all means, share.

### Use Cases
These are a few examples of ways this tool could be used:

**Ethical**
* Track down stray appliances.
* Track power generated vs. power consumed.
* Find a water leak with rtlamr rather than from your bill.
* Optimize your thermostat to reduce energy consumption.
* Mass collection for research purposes. (_Please_ anonymize your data.)

**Unethical**
* Using data collected to determine living patterns of specific persons with the intent to act on this data, particularly without express permission to do so.
