GreenWave Reality on Wednesday unveiled a home energy management system, joining a pack of companies with gadgets for tracking and reducing home energy. The company, which has its main offices in Copenhagen and Irvine, California, also said on Wednesday it has raised $11 million, including $5 million from Craton Equity Partners.
Plugging in an appliance such as a refrigerator or dishwasher into this "power node" means its energy use can be monitored and remotely controlled.
GreenWave Reality was founded by tech veterans who most recently worked at Cisco's consumer business group, which sells Linksys routers and other products. The company is seeking to apply the focus on low cost, standards, and ease-of-use from the consumer electronics field to home energy, according to CEO Greg Memo. Its home energy management package is a combination of hardware and software, including an application to view and control home energy use and a set of devices, such as a small energy display and wireless power strips, to create a wireless network of plugged-in appliances. GreenWave Reality has also developed an energy-efficient LED bulb which can be controlled by its home automation network
