The “Internet of Things” and “smart home” devices aren’t just a trend, they’re the future. These emerging technologies are great for a number of reasons, the biggest of which are convenience and savings. Connecting devices in your house to each other and to the internet gives you a level of control and capability that seemed like science fiction just a few short years ago. And beyond that, smart home devices like smart thermostats and other gadgets can save you a ton of money by optimizing your house or apartment.

But if you thought the Nest Thermostat was smart, wait until you meet the CURB Home Energy Monitoring System.

Here’s how the team behind CURB describes it: “CURB is the most powerful and intelligent integrated hardware/software system for visualizing and managing energy in residential and commercial settings. 18 dedicated sensors give you real-time information about your home’s power consumption, electrical vehicle charging and solar production. Integration with Samsung’s SmartThings platform enables you to directly control appliances on the go. Fortune magazine identified CURB as an essential component of every smart home. “It’s the smartest way to start… An instant money saver.” Power your life. Smarter.”
