Meet Ecoisme

The World's Most Intelligent Home Energy Monitoring System 

 

 

 

 

 

Ecoisme is a single device for your home that brings a new level of comfort to your life! Thanks to the technology behind Ecoisme, you can now track energy consumption for your devices, get clear recommendations on how to reduce energy usage and receive alerts when devices are left turned on.

 

 

With Ecoisme you don't need to worry if you forget to switch off the iron or AC, if your kids left the lights on in the middle of the night, or if the refrigerator door has been left open. Ecoisme will help you to take care of this.

 

We have created a solution that is extremely easy to use and perfect in all aspects of design, usability and accuracy. One sensor is all it takes to make your home truly smart.

 

 

 

Press coverage

 

 

 

Know your home

Be aware of how much energy is used by your home appliances. Track energy usage for your AC, heater, kettle, oven, TV, phone charger, laptop, etc., on one simple dashboard. Find out which appliances are energy-efficient or not and receive precise tips on how to improve and reduce your energy usage.

With Ecoisme it is possible to save up to 15% of electricity every month!

 

Get critical alerts

 

Ecoisme incorporates your home appliances. If you forget to switch off the iron, AC, hair straightener or stove, Ecoisme will immediately remind you. It will even remind you if you forgot to close the refrigerator door or if you leave a window open in the hot summer days. 

 

Improve your kids’ safety

 

With Ecoisme you will know when your kids come home and what devices they are using. By checking the enabled devices on your Ecoisme profile, you can observe if the microwave oven, TV or Xbox® was turned on. You can receive a quick and simple read on how much time has been spent on each device to make sure they are within the limits you have set for them. 

If you have a babysitter watching over your kids, you will know exactly which  activities are being done with your children and for how long. For example, you will be able to see if your babysitter is watching TV instead of actively playing with your children.

 

 

 

Integrate with other solutions

 

Do you have NEST®, WeMo® or other smart devices at your home? Ecoisme will integrate with them, making your home significantly smarter. Smart devices within your home can be synced with Ecoisme, reducing the time spent managing each device separately and making it easy to multi-task. Easy tasks such as powering on the coffee machine when you wake up, turning off your air conditioner when you leave home and programming your stereo system turn on at a certain time can be easily managed with Ecoisme.

 

 

 

Integrate with solar panels

 

If you have solar panels, you will be able to easily integrate them with Ecoisme and get a new level of visualisation - clear, intelligent and user-friendly. Ecoisme will show you, for example, that half of coffee was made by solar energy or you reduced your expenses on water heating on 30% because of solar panels. Moreover, Ecoisme will suggest you how to use solar energy in the best way. For example, it will notify you that if you wash clothes now, you will do it free of charge, using energy only from solar panels.

 

 

 

Why Ecoisme?

 

 

Simple

We designed Ecoisme with simplicity in mind. Setting up your Ecoisme sensor is safe and easy, and takes less than 10 minutes. Just put a clamp on your main power line and insert the plug into the power socket. Afterwards you can view details from your home appliances, receive personalized tips on how to lower your electricity bill and view important alerts, all through the Ecoisme web or mobile app.

 

 

Teachable

 

You can easily teach Ecoisme to recognize your devices. Although Ecoisme will be able to recognize most of your devices automatically, you can teach it to learn a new device instantly. In order to do this, just follow two easy steps:

 

  • Click add new device
  • Switch it on/off a few times.

 

 

 

Accessible from everywhere

 

Ecoisme can be accessed through the web or mobile app from anywhere in the world. It supports iOS and Android. Moreover, the Ecoisme app can track your location. And if you have left your home, it will notify you to return to disable household devices, left turned on.

 

 

And very powerful

 

Ecoisme uses complex technology, combining spectrum analysis and power analysis.

We use power analysis to detect simple devices such as the kettle or iron. These devices have specific fingerprints in power usage and time which allows us to detect each unique device.

 

To recognize devices with switched-mode power supplies such as a TV, laptop, or phone charger, we use spectrum analysis. These devices produce unique noise in electric network. We can even detect different brands of devices by using this advanced technology.

 

 

The clamp sensor is used to measure the current. The connection of a plug to the socket is used to measure voltage and will also power the sensor.

Our road to Indiegogo

 

We spent almost 2 years, developing Ecoisme. During our development process we created 4 sensor prototypes, beginning with simplest form, the Arduino-based which was completely inaccurate and measured only power, to now our latest sensor which is small, measures both power and spectrum and sends all the data via WiFi.

 

 

 

We created a number of design concepts and finally settled on a look that was discrete and one that could blend in with any setting.

 

 

 

 

We performed a lot of tests before finalizing the sensor. With that being said, we would like to thank the 30 participants whom all agreed to let us install sensors in their apartments so we could collect data and improve our algorithms. The data collected for each device also helped us program the sensor to recognize multiple household appliances.

FAQ

 

 

What is 1-phase/3-phase? Can you tell how to detect if I have 1 phase or 3 phase?

This is basically how your home is connected to electricity provider. Sometimes you have 1-phase network (typically 2 wires coming into your home), sometimes (if you have big house or a lot of appliances) you may have 3-phase, in this case you'll have more that 2 wires. 

You can look at your fuse box or circuit breaker to determine that. If a label there says 3-Phase (for example, "3-Phase 120/208V" or "3-Phase 240/415V"), then you order a 3-phase Ecoisme sensor. Otherwise order a 1-phase sensor. If you are not sure about your connection type - you can take a picture of your meter and send it to us.

 

Can Ecoisme sensor determine which light is turned on, if I have many “exact same” bulbs (LED, CFL, etc) ?

Yes, if devices are exactly the same and not "smart", Ecoisme sensor will show number of them and total power consumption.

 

Is there some setup required that allows for each device to be turned on and off in order to record the specific power pattern and tie it to a device?

Initially you have to turn on/off your device and system will remember it. Next time when device will work, we'll combine information about change in power consumption and noise in electric network with fingerprints of your devices.

 

Will I need to pay some subscription fee?

Especially for our Indiegogo contributors we do not plan to charge any service fees lifetime, you do not have to worry about this at all.

 

I live in the U.S. and I have 1-phase network with two cables, 120 V each. Will a 1-phase sensor work for me?

 

Yes, it is possible to use 1-phase Ecoisme sensor for this purpose. We will release a special U.S. version of Ecoisme sensor that will work in electricity networks of this type.

 

How can I install Ecoisme sensor?

The process will be pretty simple - just connect a contactless sensor to the main cable in your circuit breaker and turn the sensor into a power outlet.

 

 

Is it safe to install the sensor?

If you are not sure how to work on your electrical installation, we suggest you to invite an electrician, because it can be dangerous. 

 

How long are cable with the sensor? Can I extend them?

 

  • Clamp will have around 1m cable, but since it is a regular 3-wire cable with a 3.5mm stereo jack, you will be able to extend it if needed.

  •  

    Power cable will be around 1m too, but it will be connected to a standard "figure of 8" socket on the sensor. So, it could be extended easily as well.

Also it will be possible to connect the sensor directly to the fuse box by an electrician.

 

Is the device certified?

Of course, Ecoisme sensor will be certified before shipping.

 

What about data security?

Your data will be secured and encrypted. For example, we send data over TLS 1.2 protocol, so no one can sniff data between sensor and the cloud.

 

How the system can be integrated with other solutions?

Ecoisme will have Open API and we will build integrations with other solutions based on their API. For example, if you need to connect Ecoisme with NEST, you will just need to enter the Integrations option on the Ecoisme dashboard and click Connect with NEST.

 

Will there be an API to access?

There will be API for pushing/pulling data, you'll be able to register as developer, get your OAuth2 tokens and use it in any way you need.

 

Why have you selected Flexible goal?

We made it to simplify the contribution process and make it as easy for you as possible. With fixed goal only PayPal is available which is not a convenient option for many our contributors.

 

Will there be local access, or Ecoisme sensor requires all-time connection to the cloud?

Ecoisme sensor requires all-time connection to the cloud because we have algorithms which does not currently seem to be possible to run on client-side alone (though, part of computations will be on client-side).

 

What is the difference between Ecoisme sensor and solutions that are already exist on market?

Our technology is based on two factors: power and spectrum analysis. We have much more precise algorithms that can detect even devices with power consumption which varies like TVs, laptops, phone chargers, that other solutions just cannot do.

 

Any plans to integrate with services like IFTTT?

Sure, we think it will be useful for many people.
