    Taking the guess work out of controlling your energy bills...

    Home owners will soon be able to monitor how much energy they are consuming and automatically turn off devices that are not in use through their mobile phones and the web, thanks to groundbreaking energy management technology developed by Cambridge based firm, AlertMe.

    The AlertMe Energy system uses "smart plugs" that allow homeowners to control and monitor how much power their home appliances are using. Working wirelessly with other smart devices that monitor energy use across the whole home, this information is delivered via the web as a simple breakdown of how much you are spending on powering your house, and where. Using manual and automatic controls, AlertMe Energy could save the average home £30 a month on heating and electricity bills, and cut domestic energy wastage and associated carbon emissions by a quarter.

    A service which allows you to text your house to turn the heating on an hour before you get home is just one of the exciting developments AlertMe Energy has in the pipeline. Energy saving for the planet – and for busy people too.
