Problem
Many households lack real-time visibility into their electricity consumption, making it difficult to identify energy waste and optimize usage. Existing solutions, like smart meters, often provide delayed or aggregated data, hindering immediate action to reduce consumption. This lack of awareness contributes to unnecessary energy expenditure and environmental impact.
Solution
Ecojoko offers a comprehensive energy monitoring solution that provides users with real-time insights into their electricity consumption. The system consists of a sensor, which can be connected to either a Linky smart meter or a standard circuit breaker, and a user-friendly assistant that displays real-time energy usage data. This enables users to identify energy-intensive appliances, detect phantom loads, and track the impact of energy-saving measures. The Ecojoko mobile app provides detailed analytics, including energy consumption breakdowns by appliance category, personalized energy-saving tips, and comparisons with other users to promote energy conservation.
Target Audience
Ecojoko targets homeowners and renters who are interested in reducing their energy consumption, lowering their electricity bills, and minimizing their environmental footprint. The solution is suitable for both tech-savvy individuals and those new to energy monitoring.
