EcoGuard Outlet Power Meter

The EcoGuard is a versatile and integral part of the EcoSmart energy management system. The device has the ability to monitor and stop the flow of power to one or both outlets, turning off lamps, televisions, appliances, and any other energy-consuming loads. In addition to preventing power to an empty room, the EcoGuard also combats 'energy vampires." Energy vampires, or devices on standby power, are products that use power when turned off but are still plugged into a power outlet. On a national basis, standby power accounts for more than 100 billion kilowatt hours of annual U.S. electricity consumption and more than $10 billion in annual energy costs. The EcoGuard completely disconnects devices from the power supply, preventing lights and other in-room electronics from needlessly consuming energy.
