ThinkEco’s Modlet (short for “modern outlet”) is an intelligent outlet that monitors energy use by appliances in apartments, condos, and homes. The modlet plugs into a standard outlet, and then appliances can be plugged into the modlet. It uses algorithms to recommend automatic power savings plans, and allows users to view real-time data on power usage.
Editors’ Comments: The Modlet is an incredibly simple, inexpensive way for homeowners to track power consumption by major appliances.
