With existing PowerCost Monitor hardware, Eragy’s free myEragy application offers several layers of engagement options for homeowners including web and smart phone data presentation, enabling homeowners to save up to 20% or more on their monthly electric bills.

The PowerCost Monitor features a universal optical sensor that slips over the outside of virtually any electricity meter and then feeds that energy data in real-time up through a WiFi Gateway to Eragy’s secure web portal. It’s a simple, step-by-step installation process with no electricians required.

The Eragy platform also includes a number of proactive alerts and notifications via email and text/SMS messages. Homeowners can receive alerts on their projected energy costs, when they exceed their monthly budget, and even get notified if their internet service is malfunctioning. Eragy also supports utility-specific energy alerts, such as notifying PowerCost Monitor users when they are close to moving into a higher rate tier.
