Sure, there’s a lot of good in being kind to the environment, but ultimately, being eco-friendly doesn’t mean more money in your pocket. Or does it? DIY Kyoto’s latest invention, called Wattson, is the first device that calculates how much energy you’re using in your house, as well as how much you’ve saved after cutting down.

Through its LED display, the machine will tell you how much you expect to spend based on the amount of watts used, and thus allows users to become more aware of wasted energy. if you start using more energy, it glows red, and if you start conserving, it turns blue. The company claims it can reduce the electricity bill by up to 25 percent. Buy it here for about $183, and see a quick video demo below.
