Report: Verizon to Provide Energy Management
May join ADT and Comcast in selling low-cost home energy management.
Verizon plans on selling security and energy monitoring systems by the end of 2010, according to reports.
The phone/Internet/TV giant won't be the first home services provider to dip its toes into the energy management market. Security behemoth ADT is already test-marketing "connectivity" solutions with remotely-accessible web cameras and thermostats, and plans a national rollout in August. Energy monitoring and remote energy management is planned as well. Cable TV giant Comcast also may enter the security and energy management markets in 2010.
ADT is using iControl software for its new systems. ADT and Comcast are both investors in iControl, as is Intel, which has produced a Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) with an in-house energy dashboard.
No word yet on whether Verizon will also use iControl software. But in recent talks with an iControl source, a Verizon rollout was mentioned several times.
Just imagine Comcast - excuse me, Xfinity - and Verizon also competing in energy management. I can't wait for those TV commercials.
