EcoPlug EP-1 Energy Saver
What is it?
In this age of climate change there is a lot of focus on new green technologies and energy production but less on optimization of conventional technology energy usage. Many of these legacy systems will be with us for years to come as we transition to this new era. The EcoPlug (TM) EP-1 (patent pending) focuses on immediately reducing our carbon footprint without any significant capital outlay or additional pressure on resources manufacturing alternatives. We could all make a huge impact simply by using less energy with products we already own without compromising on operability.
How does it work?
This versatile device can operate in one of nine modes of operation from low or high configurable cutoff thermostat, timer or combinations where both conditions have to be met in addition to ambient light sensing. Made from high quality parts, these are designed to operate in extreme temperatures with an always on fail-safe. The unit is controlled from an app available for both iOS and Android based mobile devices and features a virtual mechanical timer dial as well a moving 24 hour history graph. SPE-1000 inspected for electrical safety and approved for use in Canada.
What data is captured?
Telemetry includes temperature, load current and ambient lighting.
Why is this useful?
Application examples include block heaters, propane tank blankets, lighting automation and greenhouse climate control.
What does it cost?
The EcoPlug is $199.99 and can pay for itself in power savings in as little as 1-2 years of operation depending on application.
