Monitoring your power energy needs and managing the power consumption at your place has becoming a rapidly popular trend across the globe and firms like Google have already released extensive power monitoring systems which serve the purpose. Zerofootprint, a leader in helping corporate firms and government agencies understand and reduce their carbon footprint, now wishes to transfer that expertise into your own home. This new TalkingPlug is for corporations or households to control the electricity consumption of individual appliances, allows you to monitor the power usage from a particular socket and by managing your energy needs, helps reduce both your carbon footprint and power bill as well.
In addition to this a set of plugs create a network and can send information via a home or office building router to Zerofootprint, which is then analyzed and kept a tab on by the company’s unique software. What makes the TalkingPlug special is its comparatively cheaper price tag of $50, which is expected to further come down, once the socket is mass produced on a greater scale.
This new innovation from Zerofootprint is a wonderful step forward in minimizing power wastage in domestic usage and the competitive price tag should only encourage other makers to slash prices, enabling more homes to go green.
