With PlugHound there’s no programmable thermostat to worry about, no high-voltage wiring, no new wires and no computer to set up, in fact PlugHound even comes professionally installed.

First, a Sokets installer performs a simple sustainability audit to determine how best to configure PlugHound while documenting the things that use energy in your home. Then, your existing regular or programmable thermostat is replaced with the ComfortRetriever, an elegantly designed, simple energy conservation thermostat that allows you to set the temperature you want when you’re there to use it. No programming, no owners manual, it just makes things comfy while you’re home. Next, a VampireHibernator is plugged into any wall outlet and a TV, PC or other device you want hibernated plugs into that. The HabitatHibernator, the button that controls it all, is placed by the door to complete the system. The entire system is connected wirelessly to the HibernationGateway which is connected to your broadband Internet connection.

Now you’re ready to Hibernate your Habitat, and the energy it would have wasted, at the touch of a button.

Of course you can add more PlugHound devices, including temperature and water sensors, to retrieve all the energy you can, at any time.
