The Energy Management System (EMS) EC-100 allows you to check out just how much juice your home is consuming thanks to a smart meter. Apart from that, you can pinpoint the individual culprits, be they an A/V system, security, lights and HVAC among others, so that you can have a go at lowering your monthly power bill in a more precise and well-informed manner. It is hoped for the EC-100 to be deployed this coming March 2010, where it will come with a 5″ LCD touchscreen display to help you navigate through. Perfect for dummies as you can automate your home to conserve energy – for example, lowering the shades during a sunny day or adjusting the thermostat automatically whenever you exit the room.
