The Australian research body CSIRO has just released a telephone app to help them research the country's power usage. The invitation on Playstorestates the following:
"​​The CSIRO Energise app lets you contribute to our national research program by telling us about your energy world. Your contribution is so important to us - it can help us better understand how Australians use, generate and interact with energy. The insights you provide can play a role in creating a more secure, reliable and sustainable energy future for all Australians.
​​
​​Along the way, we will tell you about the exciting discoveries we are making, the cutting-edge science we are conducting, and what it all means for you. Plus, you will get a chance to hear from some of the people behind Australia's energy research efforts.
​​
​​You can use the CSIRO Energise app to:
​​- Participate in mini surveys that help us understand your energy world
​​- Unlock charts, videos and more that highlight our most interesting discoveries
​​- Hear from real CSIRO scientists as they tackle some of our nation's biggest energy challenges
​​- Learn about how other Australians use their energy
​​- Earn in-app points and awards as you contribute to Australia's science effort.
​​
​​This research has been approved by the CSIRO's Social Science Human Research Ethics Committee in accordance with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007)."

I will be interested to learn if any benefit is derived from it. Anyone any observations to make?

Love the concept, sadly I have a windows phone and can't use their app. That said, my phone is linked to my meters and inverters so I do know my own energy usage patterns. Will see if I can obtain their data as the project progresses. Thanks for the info.
