...NO extra Plugs
No extra plugs!
Greeniant's solution is a single touch set-up. This means that only the digital meter is connected to Greeniant and the consumer does not need to install any extra devices in his home. An alternative solution is available whereby so-called plug-in sets provide the necessary detail to a central managed PC application. The device you connect through these plugs can then be seen (and only those, all other devices are invisible to the application). On top, you are the only who knows what is in the plug, the plug doesn't know... Greeniant provides a simple single touch set-up. There is no need to install any extra devices to get your appliance level view. |
Built-in Appliances. One of the major reasons why the extra plugs are inconvenient (besides being very expensive) is that most of our appliances are built-in! Most kitchen appliances are and think of clothes washer, and dryers, stereo-hifi systems, tv's and the like. This may very well be the majority of the top energy consumers in any household that are by design excluded from being observed Greeniant's solution is non-intrusive; nothing but the central digital meter needs to be connected to the greeniant server. |
Hidden Energy burners Another big argument consumers want the central connection is to find out about the hidden energy consumers: what appliances, devices are using electricity and consuming good money. It is very important to track the massive amount of smaller energy-wasters you could do without, a host of examples vary from attic to basement, best known is the ability to put most devices on stand-by: from TV's to Garage door openers. Greeniant's app will show what can be saved where. |
