The Mission
We have been inspired by the idea of providing a cost effective, intuitive, and easy to use interface for energy management within a residence. We are well aware of the limits for current home energy management systems including lack of common interfaces and limited device availability. We believe that electric vehicles and home power storage devices will proliferate and offer a potential for greatly reducing peak demand from the electric grid - but this needs to be properly managed .
Our team wants to partner with others with shared goals.
