The fritzmeter reads internet usage from a upnp capable dsl router and displays the used percentage of the up- and downstream.
The IMHO unique feature ist that it runs without a PC and shows how much of your available internet bandwidth is currently in use. Regardless of the number of wired / wiresess devices on your network.
The arduino platform makes the project easy for beginners, but the fritzmeter can easily be stripped down to a two chip / single board solution to reduce cost for small series production.
