Blue Line Innovations and PlotWatt have recently announced their home energy reporting partnership. With no additional hardware, families using the PowerCost Monitor™ can now see real-time, whole-home and appliance level energy usage. PlotWatt’s patent-pending algorithms identify appliance-specific data signatures from a whole-house meter, and report the appliance-level costs to the homeowner. This simple, user friendly dashboard not only shows the home’s energy cost breakdown, but also gives each homeowner a menu of tailored recommendations and alerts for reducing energy costs. More choice and more robust offering for former Microsoft Hohm™ and Google PowerMeter™ customers.
The PowerCost Monitor™ features a universal optical sensor that slips over the outside of virtually any electricity meter and then feeds that energy data in real time up through a WiFi Gateway to the PlotWatt dashboard. It’s a simple, step-by-step installation.
