This past fall at the New York Maker Faire I had the opportunity to share a space under the Sustainability Tent with some EnergyHub team members. I can attest to the user-friendly system and the home base unit actually consumes less energy than a cell phone charger. http://vimeo.com/20882933 Coolest Thing About EnergyHub: EnergyHub puts the power of control into your hands. Monitor and control everything in your home, from small electronics to water heaters.
