The Automated Utility Management
Device (a.k.a. A.U.M. Device) is a smart power strip that saves money
and energy by cutting down on standby power (or vampire power) and
wasteful energy usage by automatically turning off outlets when not in
use. It has features such as, standby mode, motion sensing, timed mode,
leader-follower, as well as power calculations and a touch screen and
android app for easy device control. An internal microcontroller keeps
track of power used, environment states and outlet statuses as well as
communicating with external devices.
This device is much needed in the modern world where wasting electricity is more common than polar bears. Global warming and peak oil are two huge reasons to be more efficient with our power usage while we transfer into renewable resources for energy generation. Families or anyone who uses multiple electronic devices will benefit by having this in their home. Sponsored by |
