What's a
Wattwatcher?
|
Rather than giving you another 'top 10 tips' to save energy, or having you keep
yelling at the family to 'turn the bloody lights off', Wattwatchers decided something
more practical was needed.
The result is the Wattwatcher. A smart household monitor in an easy-to-follow energy
management system.
The Wattwatcher System
See - what's hidden away in your meter box.
The Wattwatcher tracks all the data that's hidden outside in your electricity meter,
and presents it anywhere in the house in a way all the family will understand. Instead
of waiting 3 months for an energy bill, you get to see all the electricity you're
using as it happens, so you can do something about it straight away!
Discover - what things really cost to run.
The Wattwatcher is portable and wireless. Take it with you around the house and
use the Stop/Watch function to discover what all those appliances are costing you.
Things like 'standby' modes and what it costs to run the house when you're asleep
or away are guaranteed to give some real surprises.
And what does it cost to leave the lights on? Well now you'll know.
Involve - all the family.
Many households already have a resident re-cycling champion or a carbon-cop, but
enlisting the rest of the family in environmental issues can be quite difficult
at times. To get everyone involved in energy savings, the Wattwatcher comes with
MyGrid software that uploads all the data kept on your Wattwatcher and turns it
into interesting and interactive graphics to show on your computer. In addition
to setting personal alerts, times and specific tariff rates, MyGrid has several
household-help programs including:
- 'Leaktricity'
A simple, multi-level game-style program that takes you through the basic energy
discovery steps, then awards you for identifying the 'why' and the 'how' of your
household leaking so much electricity.
- 'E-Week'
This program helps you set up a household 'Energy Week' to see what's possible,
and who in your home needs most help to change their wasteful habits. It's fun to
do and establishes a benchmark, but there's also the serious side of saving energy.
- 'House-on-a-Diet'
House-on-a-Diet is a simple planning and goal-setting tool which takes into account
your household lifestyle, and shows how to stick to the habits that really make
a difference. Plug the Wattwatcher in anytime to track your progress or update your
goals.
Control - your energy bills
As you start taking control of your energy bills, you may want to become a more
advanced user. MyGrid software has a unique 'drill-down-and-display' feature to
access all data from minutes to years, with almost unlimited views for trend and
comparison analysis. If you're connected to the internet all the better, as you
will automatically be upgraded with MyGrid software programs, and receive new applications
and tools to try.
Since the Wattwatcher records your energy use every second in very fine measurements,
it's up to you to select the tools you need, and how general or detailed your control
should be.
