Pachube is a web based arena that allows people to upload data and information. It can be gathered from environments by devices like sensors, or from web based applications, and it turns the readings and outputs into visual representations.

All the information is in time series and real time, so Pachube creates a place where people can monitor things like energy consumption and work out ways to make its usage more efficient for them.

Pachube allows millions of people and data points to be connected together in a world of the Internet Of Things, and provides a platform where physical and virtual environments can communicate to each other.

Pachube can be used to monitor energy being used around a house, and then with the acquired data the energy consumption can be made more efficient. It can help automate homes and other environments, controlling things like lights and temperature.
It can play a part in observing physical environments and the weather.
