This would be very useful to my parents, and the footprints would make it that much easier for them. I think this is a very good investment to look into.

What an awesome device! I've actually been wanting something like that - a device that I could use to monitor just how much things really do cost me, and how important it -really- is to keep the lights off when I'm not in the room. I don't think I could hook this up to my apartment's panel as it's sealed up, but maybe I could get my parents to try it out. Heyyyy it’s Ryan!

It would be ideal for college students I think, or at least i could use it for my electric bill. One does not know what uses the most power until they get an electric bill, and if this is a helpful way to reduce the costs then who wouldn't be game for it. I think that this is a great idea.

The live dashboard is set up in such a way that it makes it extremely easy to understand your home's energy useage. If I had my own home, I would invest in this product.

It is a very neat idea and whenever I build/buy my own house, I'll make sure to get something similar installed from the get-go!

More people should look into this as a part of their homes. Definitely a great way to save money. More people should look into this as a part of their homes.

The device can eventually help people to stop waste energy in their homes and save money. It is a device that is environmental friendly.

This is a good invention but it seems like people could unplug things they are not using to save energy. The machine is nice to have but unnecessary.

This would defiantly be a cool thing to have though, to see where you're wasting energy. This is along the lines of our product idea for Entr200, even down to the web check-up idea.
