    ThinkEco - modlet Starter Kit - White (4 out of 6)
    Great concept, needs work
    3
    Posted by: from Chicago on 05/16/2012I bought this unit primarily to give me the ability to control an outlet from my iPhone. I have a lamp in my bedroom that I'd like to be able to turn on-off from anywhere. I've got everything set up but the advertised feature of being able to turn an outlet on and off isn't showing any available devices for me. I'm sure I've done everything right and I need to contact support. THERE IS NO SUPPORT on the website. The best you can hope for is a "contact us" form on the company's website which isn't available on the Mymodlet.com site. I'm waiting for the response from the contact form wondering if I've wasted my money. NOTE: There are several reviews that state that people are looking to hook their DVR to this plug. Your DVR must, by definition remain powered on to work. If you are looking for usage monitoring, that is fine. If you want the DVR powered down to save energy you will not be able to record shows while the power is off.

    Works Seamlessly

    Posted by: from NYC on 02/21/2012The unit allows you to monitor two different appliances, tv's, computers, or custom named device separately. The top outlet and the bottom outlet are monitored independently. You are able to access your account and check your usage from any internet ready device. You can input your cost per Kilowatt Hr and the software will give you total cost for what ever timespan you select. You can also setup a baseline for comparison and help initiate ECM's Energy Conservation Measures. Each modlet that you add to the network allows you to stretch the network to other rooms or floors.

    Great concept with some disappointments

    Posted by: from Palo Alto, CA on 02/08/2012This is a great concept and it is very promising to see products for home energy management reaching the market. I find this product well presented but quite limited in use. Having to use a PC for data collection is a big limitation and I would rather use an iPad or iPhone. For savings I find other products like the UFO Smart Powerstrip more useful. For $129 it provides four outlets with schedules and trickle power control, and uses WiFi which is a superior wireless technology.

    Wow! Easy , Insightful & Energy Savings

    Posted by: from Palo Alto, CA on 11/16/2011Installation was flawless, and now I can see just how much energy my TV and TIVO are using- wow! It's a lot of energy! I can't wait until my initial 2-week energy survey "baseline" is completed to learn how much I can save by turning these devices off while I am away all day, and at sleep at night. I might buy other modelts for my kitchen appliances and one for my space heater

    Easy way to be green and save $$

    Posted by: from Houston, TX on 11/13/2011After receiving a $350 electricity bill in September, I have been looking for ways to reduce my electricity bill for the past 2 months. I was specifically interested in a way to prevent my Plasma TV, Xbox, DVR and IPad from constantly using power even when Im not using them. A friend at work showed me this article on the modlet and I knew I had to buy one. Glad Best Buy had it. It was super easy to setup and it works perfectly. Really cool how it learns when I use my devices and when I dont.
