Google and Energy Inc. have partnered to provide a home power-measuring device that works with Google’s energy management software to give homeowners detailed information about their power consumption that can help them monitor and reduce energy consumption.
Google earlier this year unveiled its PowerMeter Web tool that allows homeowners to monitor their energy consumption. But the PowerMeter required a utility-installed smart meter to work. While the intelligent meters capable of providing frequent and detailed energy use information are being rolled out by the millions, relatively few American homes now have them.
