    Ever wish you could disarm your alarm system while sitting in your driveway? Or check in on, say, the cat while you're out of town? Alarm.com's new iPhone app lets you do all that and more. It's a freebie for Alarm.com customers. Designed for homes and businesses alike, Alarm.com's systems (which are sold and installed by various third-party dealers) rely on wireless sensors and GSM/GPRS networks.

Among the items proposed in the energy plan are 40 million installed smart meters.

Greener Gadgets | The Inlet-Outlet: Harnessing Energy from Everyday life | Carla Diana ... - 0 views

  • Nearly every room in our homes and offices has at least one electrical outlet from which we draw power for our gadgets and appliances. What if each of those outlets had an accompanying electrical "inlet" so that we not only drew power from the grid, but could also give some back? We already have solar and wind systems for homes, so why not extend this concept to all our habitable spaces through a system of integrated, easy-to-use plugs and inlets? In addition to the inlet panels, adapter kits would be made available to easily convert common household products into energy-generating, inlet-ready devices. Applications include obvious kinetic sources such as exercise equipment, and emerging solutions such as cells that convert heat into energy. (Imagine a panel next to your oven or behind the refrigerator to capture the excess heat and convert it into electricity.) In more commercial settings, multiple inlets could be strategically placed. Your the local gym, for example, can become a mini-power plant by pairing each exercise bike to an electrical inlet. Ultimately, the availability of an inlet panel/plug adapter kit system can encourage the development of new devices that harness energy to feed back into the grid.

    Each year, home electrical problems account for an estimated 53,600 fires. These fires cause more than 500 deaths, injure 1,400 people, and account for $1.4 billion in property damage. Many of these fires occur in aging homes. According to a study conducted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the frequency of electrically related fires is disproportionately high in homes more than 40 years old.
