The new home energy management system uses Allure Mobile, a smart phone application that works on the BlackBerry, iPhone, and future Android platforms, to manage energy use based on how far, or near, each user may be from their home.
The company has used wireless smart grid certified Proximity Control technology to create private, residential smart energy networks that facilitates a fully automated use of energy for the consumers by eliminating the need to manually program the thermostats at home.
Kevin Imes, president and CEO of Allure Energy, said: “Our solution will revolutionize home energy management by providing a true proximity-based control system. Homeowners no longer have to program thermostats, or learn how to use complex home automation systems to manage their energy use.
“Our concept is simple. As homeowners leave their residence, we alter the settings of their thermostat and future smart appliances based on how far away they are from their home. As they return home, we automatically create the environment they want.”
