The Internet of Anything: The System That Pays You to Use Less Electricity

We all know we should use less electricity. It would save us some money each month, and in the long run, it just might save the planet, reducing our collective carbon footprint. But sadly, that’s just not enough incentive for most of us.

Ohmconnect https://www.ohmconnect.com/ hopes to provide more. Launched about a year ago, the service doesn’t just help you save electricity. It pays you–or your favorite charity–when you use less power during volatile times for the electrical grid. And if you have the right gear–such as a Nest thermostat, Belkin smart switches, or a Tesla car–Ohmconnect can automatically manage some of your power consumption so that you don’t have to do anything yourself.
