Internet-Connected Appliances Could Lower Energy Bills
Pilot test in Washington and Oregon lets dryers and water heaters check electricity prices and decide if its worth waiting until off-peak times.
this has to be one of the strangest idea’s I’ve seen in awhile…the dryer or water-heater is connected to the internet and check the current price of electricity and runs within a time period that is cheapest…however who does this benefit..the electric company, or the consumer…then if everyones water heater and dryer kicked on at the low-peak time, wouldn’t they end up creating a new high-peak time, and therefor a new low-peak time….Welcome to CrzyLand
