Re: Show HN: Ecoisme – A smart energy monitor for your home appliances
#3If this is something that just informs me where electricity is being used, it doesn't necessarily save me money, does it? Many times, I know that my son has not turned off the vanity lights in the upstairs bathroom, but am too lazy to go up there and turn it off myself. What would help is a robot that goes around turning off lights and other electrical equipment if it doesn't find someone using that light sources, etc :-)...

#4I was working in a system like this some time ago. I thought that you need a sensor for each appliance. I like the idea of AI to detect the electrical signature of appliances and only use one sensor.

#5The technology looks interesting, but can I switch off the devices remotely? It would be great to switch off home appliances, not just monitor their usage. For example, if I left the stove on, do I need to drive back to my home?

I dont think it does differ much from it (or from other several similar "home energy monitors"), there are probably tens of similar ones, just to name a few besides neurio, sense, eyedro, smappee, curb:

On Hacker News, this one (Open Source and Raspberry PI based) would probably be more relevant:

#7I have tried similar devices but they are not very accurate, and this is worrying me. I haven't seen the device yet that's reliable enough to detect every home appliance.

#8Does it has an integration with smart homes?
I mean, whether I can remotely switch off an iron, if I forgot.

We use different approach to device recognition: we detect devices by our algorithms and users can teach the system via training mode for more precise recognition. We can show you how our algorithms works at CES'2017! Our booth there is #51841 Sands

Hey Loevborg! Thank you for your interest in our product! Yes, Ecoisme will be integrated with connected home appliances and you will be able to turn off these home appliances remotely.
