Mi Casa Verde

Mi Casa VerdeMi Casa Verde has developed a home energy conservation system called Vera. Vera is a home control system built into a wireless wi-fi access point that can control lights, appliance outlets, thermostats and powerstrips that use Z-Wave, which are commonly found at home centers. Vera receives Flex Alerts wirelessly and will automatically turn off lights and appliances to save energy. Vera will also send users a text message if they've left lights on and allows them to turn off lights remotely. The system will also log energy use data so homeowners can see where and when their home is using power. The system is affordable and simple to set up, and unlike PC based home control systems it only uses 6 watts of electricity.
