MeterPlug - Fighting Vampire Power Waste In Your Home

MeterPlugIt seems that power bills get higher all the time, though that may be what it seems like and reality may not be that bad. With all the things that we plug in, there must be a way to reduce the cost for electricity. What has been coming out in recent years is the fact that many of the things we have in our homes use power 24 hours a day. That DVR is running 24 hours a day consuming power, but is required to do that in order to work correctly. And there are so many other devices which consume power when not in use. Your computer is taking power when it is turned off. And then there are the things which consume large amounts of energy, but you do not know just how much, such as your refrigerator. All of these things cost money and there needs to be a better way to figure out where all the power is being consumed.

The MeterPlug is going to be that device which can tell you what is going on with power consumption. It is a small plug that slips between the plug and the wall socket and once in place can provide you with valuable information. Think your xBox 360 is stealing power like a vampire sucking money out of your wallet? The MeterPlug will be able to tell you that. And the information is provided to your smart phone. This is accomplished via Bluetooth 4.0 on either an iOS or Android app you run on your smart phone.

Just by placing the MeterPlug between the power cord and the wall socket, you can start getting information. So many electronic devices continue to pull power even after you hit the power button and they all add up on your electricity bill. One of the features for the MeterPlug is the ability to turn off a monitored appliance or device so that it is drawing no electricity which right now is like a vampire draining power when it does not need it.

With their huge databases, they can even tell you the costs for using power so that you know what a single item is costing you. Or you can have devices for your home office plugged into a power strip and place the MeterPlug between the power strip plug and the wall outlet. You will then be able to know what your home office is costing you in energy costs. And that dreaded vampire drain after your power things down.

The MeterPlug started as an Indiegog project and is going to be shipping to the US in a matter of weeks with this get method of figuring out where your costs are for electricity. You can pre-order one now at StockNFind.com. The MeterPlug has a lot of intelligence built into it and as a result is not going to be cheap. They will cost you $50 per plug, but are well worth the cost in terms of the value you can get from them.
