E-Insight provides customers with an AlertMe home hub, two smart plugs and a personal
login, enabling them to monitor and remotely control any plug-in devices from anywhere via
the internet or Smartphone. It also gives the customer the ability to profile and compare
their own home appliances with new appliances in the market by taking up-to-date
independent data from across websites in the Netherlands. E-Insight compares performance
and calculates the savings a customer could make by upgrading to a new more
energy-efficient model.
Essent, part of the multi-national RWE group and the leading utility in the
Netherlands with 2.4 million customers, chose to partner with AlertMe because of the
company's ability to provide an integrated platform that will allow the utility to roll
out a number of modular Smart Energy services over the next two years.
Mary Turner, CEO of AlertMe says: "To be more efficient, consumers need to have easy
access to digestible information, help and advice, and the ability to control services in
their home. Working with Essent we can help to deliver a choice of Smart Energy services
that will empower families to lower their energy bills, remotely control home appliances
and ultimately become more informed and efficient."
Ivor Kusters, Program Manager Smart Energy at Essent, says: "Customers expect easy to
use services that show immediate relevance. The AlertMe platform enables Essent to
introduce smart services in a modular way, so we can keep them simple. Essent develops
Smart Energy services that offer comfort, insight or control on how people use their
energy. With E-insight we enable our customers to determine which appliances use too much
energy.
