Abstract
⺠We interviewed 11 householders who had used a smart energy monitor for 12 months. ⺠The monitors did help interviewees learn about their energy use. ⺠Over time, the monitors became 'backgrounded' within normal household routines. ⺠After early behaviour changes, the monitors did not motivate further energy saving. ⺠The monitors may 'harden' energy use patterns in the absence of wider support.
