How energy efficient are you?
If your a gadget lover, probably not too efficient OR maybe you are as switching off the appliances could save you cash you could use to purchase a new toy?!
I heard about this little range of products from AlertMe and I thought you might like to know about them too (assuming you haven’t already heard).
AlertMe Energy is a kit which retails at £69.00 that essentially monitors the power usage in your home, in real time and helps you save money.
You can monitor how electricity is used in your home, so that you to make simple changes and reduce your energy bill.
A meter reader and transmitter can be self-installed by clipping it to your electricity meter. The transmitter communicates wirelessly with the Hub.
The Nano Hub as it is known, is the brains of the kit which talks securely to the AlertMe service on the internet so you can monitor and control your home’s energy usage anywhere in the world. (Requires a broadband connection)
It is with the Nano Hub that you can then, fro any PC or mobile (providing it has an internet connection) view your home energy usage.
View your data in hard cash or kilowatt hours and by day, week, month or year. Make changes or tweaks and watch the figures change.
An added bonus is a partnership with Google PowerMeter. In an effort to make it even simpler to view and manage your home’s energy AlertMe Energy works perfectly with Google PowerMeter, allowing you to view your home’s energy usage directly your iGoogle homepage.
Now I haven’t actually used this but this is pretty cool as far as geeky technology goes. Yes £69 isn’t that cheap and the £2.99 per month for the online subscription is a bit cheeky but it could probably pay for itself fairly quickly, with a few small tweaks in the way you used power in your home.
