Yesterday I told you about Infrared Thermography that aims to give you an idea of your household emissions and heat loss. Treading along the same line, i.e. to help you cut down on your energy consumption and control your home entertainment devices, are the Control4 energy monitoring and display devices. Having already raised $17.3 million for the purpose, Control4 will offer energy controllers dubbed as Smart Meters to its eco-aware customers. Apart from this, the company will collaborate with Best Buy to introduce climate-control systems for stores.
Control4 hopes to integrate the home area network via the Smart Meter. It will enable its customers to monitor lights and thermostats. Its “cruise control” model will proffer exact info on the energy usage and accordingly, you can adjust the power requirements and reduce your power bill. The system will be evenly beneficial for domestic and commercial use.
