Smart meters are electronic devices used to record the use of electricity and other details about a residence via remote reporting. Citizens in California, Illinois and Texas have launched campaigns striving to raise awareness about the possible health dangers related to the technology, as well as potential privacy violations. The devices are capable of recording detailed information about appliance use, as well as the number of people in a home.
