With today’s focus on the world going green, in home power consumption monitors have been popping up all over the place. Most monitors simply tell you what a wasteful person you’re being, but a new UK service called AlertMe could stand to make you more efficient. The service starts at $260 for the hardware and $17.50 a month, with Smart Plugs purchasable for $43 which communicate wirelessly to the heating controller you purchased. Once your service is active, you can monitor your energy usage online via computer or phone. The service also includes key fobs, which will automatically turn down the heat and deactivate devices when you’re away, so you conserve energy. You can also control your thermostat by text message, so you’ll never be more than a few key presses away from a warm home.
