Intel Home Energy Monitor can measure power consumption from a single outlet

intel home energy monitoring


Does the thought of reducing your home energy consumption by 15 to 30% give you a little rush of pleasure? If so, you’ll be happy to know that Intel is moving into the business of monitoring home power usage with a small, intelligent device that can measure the power consumption of standard home appliances.

The small black box plugs into a single power outlet and uses wireless technology to send data to a coordinating display piece, which features an Intel Atom processor and a MeeGo Linux-based operating system. A sensor detects which appliances are being used by observing each item’s unique electrical pattern. The data is converted to logs which reveal at what hours each day a television, game box, or certain lights have been in use.

Intel is developing other projects in the area of energy reduction for homes and businesses, and recently co-signed a letter to President Obama encouraging the administration to provide consumers and business leaders with information and actionable ideas for reducing energy consumption.

    An interesting ariticle on ways that hope save us energy. We recently fitted a eco lod / briquette machine into our joinery workshops that converts all our sawdust and shavings into a highly efficient wood burning fuel for wood burning heating systems.Just another way I hope to save our planet and keep away from fossil fuels


  5. [...] Home energy management systems are becoming increasingly common in the electronics device marketplace. The main allure of home energy management systems is that they can provide an important service for energy and cost conscious consumers. The eMonitor from Powerhouse Dynamics is a unique home energy management system in that it is designed to perform its various functions at the circuit rather than device level. [...]
