New Gadgets Help Consumers Track Home Energy Use

According to the Department of Energy, monitoring electricity can help consumers reduce energy consumption by up to 15%. Now Oregon Scientific has announced two new products designed to help consumers monitor energy usage and save energy in the home:

The Advanced Wireless Appliance Manager monitors power consumption, carbon emissions and real-time costs for up to eight appliances, in addition to long-term trend information. An alarm will alert the user if consumption goals are exceeded. MSRP: $99

Using the Individual Appliance Manager, simply plug the device into any outlet and it will track energy current, line voltage and corresponding costs for any one electrical appliance. The LCD screen also displays the time. MSRP: $29

Hat tip to Randy Smith of the Lighting Design Lab for turning me on to this new product.
