The iMeter Solo Kit - INSTEON Web-Based Power Meter Kit includes an iMeter Solo that works in conjunction with an iGateway. The iMeter Solo measures the energy being used by a plug-in device; it transmits that information to an online database via the iGateway. The online data is stored and translated into tables and graphs that display energy use and costs based on the cost of electricity in your locale. You can access this information from anywhere in the world using the Internet and a secure SSL login. This data can even be exported to Excel for advanced analysis and graphing. Additionally, email alerts can be set to notify you of an event, such as exceeding your budget or being on a path to exceed budget.
Other products in this market are either plug in units with an led display to provide the user with a single-product’s energy consumption (see Kill-a-Watt) or require the user to configure their Internet options to allow the meter to provide access to the Internet. Our product is plug and play - plug the iMeter Solo into an outlet and plug a product into it, and plug the iGateway into an electric outlet and a router, and you’re ready to go. Since the products us INSTEON, they are immediately ready to communicate with one another (see demo at http://www.smarthome.com/2499E1A/iMeter-Solo-Kit-INSTEON-Web-Based-Power-Meter-Kit/p.aspx). Also, our product allows the user to track consumption of multiple iMeters.
Identifying energy guzzlers throughout your home is just the first step towards energy conservation. Using a combination of iMeter Solo Energy Monitors and an iGateway along with INSTEON home automation devices such as a SmartLinc, you can remotely monitor and turn lights and appliances off, saving electricity and reducing your monthly utility bill.
