The average home is empty almost half the year.
That’s time that all kinds of things might be left on, wasting energy and everything that goes with it.
With just the touch of a button, PlugHound hibernates your habitat, turning off the things you don’t want or need on and turning down the heat to save energy (and your home). Just walk out the door and stop worrying about it. PlugHound can monitor the temperature across the entire home and even monitor for water leaks. And when you return, your habitat is nice and comfy the minute you walk back in the door, just the way you left it.
That’s just the half of it.
According to a recent study http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/10/te ... d=permalink by the US Energy Department:
“Giving people the means to closely monitor and adjust their electricity use lowers their monthly bills and could significantly reduce the need to build new power plants...”
Now, with PlugHound, you can see how your energy is used, how much has been saved. Plus, you can finally see how much better (or worse) you are at using it than others, share and learn from other PlugHounds, track CO2 reductions, and even donate what you’ve saved to help those you choose. It’s easy to do, simply login to your personal Hibernation Portal through an internet browser or your cell phone. You can even get text messages alerting you if there’s a problem or simply suggesting the furnace filter should be changed.
Professionally installed in about an hour.
Simply choose the PlugHound that’s right for you. In the base configuration, there’s no wiring, no high-voltage electrical and no PC software required, so you can re-configure it at any time and even take it with you if you move. You will need a broad-band connection and PlugHound will not work in a habitat larger than 5,000 square feet or three stories tall. Add devices and online management tools at any time. For all this, a base system costs about the same as a security system and comes professionally installed.
Save energy.
Save Green.
Push the button! Start retrieving! See PlugHound and meet the team on Saturday, Jan 26th, 12-3PM @ Refuge!

Study: Digital tools help homeowners save on energy
By Dan Caterinicchia, Associated Press
Would Americans power down, unplug and flip the switch if they knew exactly how much electricity they were consuming and exactly how much they could save by consuming less?
The answer, at least for participants in an Energy Department study, is yes — to the tune of about 10% savings on their electricity bills.
