AlertMe.com Home Energy Management Technology, UK
AlertMe.com is a new breed of online consumer energy service and uses broadband, wired or wireless network to operate. It keeps householders in touch with their homes, using all the displays and devices that we already engage with daily, such as mobile, web and TV, showing where energy is being consumed in the home, suggesting changes which would provide the biggest savings, and automating energy saving. Householders can also view other relevant information, such as tracking temperatures in different areas of the house and comparing historical usage.
For example, a householder away from home, is able to adjust heating controls, turn off appliances and plan usage for non-peak times via text or email and override heating profiles if the weather suddenly changes or if he comes home early. The service automatically optimises consumption depending upon the householder’s activities, such as turning off the heating when the house is empty or turning off appliances left on standby.
The company has struck deals with several operators in Europe, and British Gas has announced a relationship in the UK.
