Energy Monitoring 2.0 for Backyard Cottages

Finally an energy monitor that captures circuit level data. Most of the products on the market today are measuring total house consumption and providing it in a web-dashboard or similar. PowerHouse now offers the eMonitor which measures electric consumption at each circuit so you can set parameters to notify you when something’s not performing as expected, and it can even remotely control thermostats, and has an iPhone interface.

We’ll be offering this as an accessory to the pre-designed green Backyard Cottages on our website.
