Blue Line Innovations Launches New
Version of Home Electricity Monitor
- Latest Version of PowerCost
Monitor Compatible with Smart Meters
Blue Line
Innovations, maker of the PowerCost
Monitor, the device that shows
homeowners what they are spending on
electricity in real time, today
announced the release of a new
version of their popular product -
one that is compatible with smart
meters.
Smart meters provide information to
the utility; the PowerCost Monitor
completes the information loop by
providing the consumer with details
on their consumption that helps them
conserve electricity.
According to James McMillan, VP
Sales and Marketing with Blue Line
Innovations, the newest version of
the product is the next logical
extension of the smart meter
program.
"Electrical utilities are moving
forward with their deployments of
smart meters and as a company we
want to be in step with them. This
new version of our product is
compatible with smart meters. This
gives our customers even more
flexibility", he said.
While smart meters provide
information to the utility to better
gauge demand and provide the ability
to implement time of use pricing,
the PowerCost Monitor provides
consumers with the information that
they need to better understand their
power consumption and the effect on
the family budget of shifting their
demand to lower cost times. Adds Mr.
McMillan, "At Blue Line, we strive
to make our technology easy to use
and consumers often mention how
effective it is in educating the
whole family on saving energy."
Blue Line recently completed a
successful commercial deployment of
30,000 PowerCost Monitors to Hydro
One customers in Ontario. The Hydro
One project represented the first
commercial deployment in North
America of a real time electrical
energy feedback device.
