Earth Networks Develops World’s First DIY Home Energy Monitoring Device for Consumer Savings And Peace of Mind

The first product – unveiled today – is a patented breakthrough DIY home intelligence device and platform that delivers accurate, real-time power usage and diagnostic information for each appliance – without costly and complex professional installation. With connected devices representing less than 10% of all devices in the home, the over-whelming majority of devices in the home remain offline. By mining energy data for appliance level intelligence, Whisker Labs’ sensing technology brings non-connected devices online for applications related to energy consumption, fault detection, and overall home efficiency to the mass market.

“Nearly 50% of U.S. broadband households plan to buy a smart home device in the next 12 months, but there will still be over 100 million U.S. households that do not have a smart home device by the end of 2016,” remarks Tom Kerber, Director, IoT Strategy, Parks Associates.
