This paper presents a visualization and control system for electrical power consumption of consumer appliances. The proposed system identifies home appliances based on their consumed electrical power and visualizes the appliances and consumption. The system consists of Smart-tap which is an embedded outlet, Home Server and Interaction Devices. The power consumption and status of the appliances are visualized through 3D virtual environments and provided to the user. The user can control the appliances by interacting with the visualized 3D environments. The system has been demonstrated to public through an open-house event and it has been found that the system can help a user to understand the appliance status and control the appliances by the interactive controller.
