It is one of many more or less open available technologies for wireless sensors, but it is not an usable system for energy monitoring and arguably the more critical component.

Disclaimer: my company makes energy monitoring wireless devices and software.

This is a very interesting technology initiative that leverages the multiple strengths of open source development where it is most needed - the home energy management market. Open source means interoperability and that in turn provides the future-proof assurances that consumers want. I look forward to seeing the innovative solutions competing in the contest!
