"Smart" thermostats Google save energy
Google has begun testing its thermostats. Such devices, which are used to maintain constant temperature, can help people to reduce the consumption of electricity. According to unofficial information, the device can connect to the Internet and send the measurements to the cloud.
The company has already tried to do something similar. A few years ago, Google announced the launch of PowerMeter, a web dashboard that allows you to control all the energy required in the house.
Now, because of the growth of attention to appliances that are connected to the Network, the search engine more chance of success. Google will compete with companies such as Ecobee and Honeywell, which already has released a "smart" thermostats and smoke detector. The device can memorize Nest temperature preferences, and has a built-in Wi-Fi.
