We are constantly searching for and testing gadgets for our data centers that solve automation and savings. This novelty solves both and is ideal for all types of households. The $250 investment will also pay for itself through electricity savings - the manufacturer claims up to 44 percent. Many gadgets have already been produced for connecting, telemetry and administration of smart households. However, the ability to monitor and control all electrical appliances in your home with just a tap on your smartphone hasn't been available until now. 
The device is called Neurio and allows oversight of the consumption of your home electrical devices only and exclusively through a smartphone. Neurio connects directly to the circuit breaker in the distribution box with connection to phases and gradually learns to recognize the electrical "signature" of your various appliances and devices. To introduce individual appliances into the smartphone application, you simply need to turn them off and on. If you don't feel confident about connecting to the circuit breaker, better call your dad, father-in-law or electrician and have them connect it. And be careful, buy the European three-phase version, not the American two-phase version. 
Thanks to algorithms that use crowdsourced information, the device is able to recognize even the exact type of device such as a specific TV or microwave oven. After you train your application and introduce all your appliances into it, you can start with analytics and investigating consumption. The device is built on systematic measurement of voltage and current signals in fractions of seconds and thanks to this it is able to calculate power and energy consumption. Users can thus find out, for example, that their favorite gaming console "sucks energy" even when it's turned off and they need to learn to disconnect it from the network at night. The application can also be set up to reassure your girlfriend that the iron or oven is turned off when you're in a taxi on the way to the airport.
The manufacturer promises that with this interactive feedback you can reduce energy expenses by up to 44 percent.
You can use the system not only as a savings tool, but also as an analytical tool that 
will tell you how long your children watch television, how long and how often you turn on the computer, etc. The system will also remind you that the washing machine has finished and everything can be moved to the drying rack or dryer, etc. Since it is an open platform, the device cooperates with devices like Nest to optimize energy savings through solar systems. The application is available for download for iOS and Android and costs you $250. You can find more on the manufacturer's website. red
