Whisker Labs Wins CE Pro BEST Award

Home Energy Monitoring Sensor recognized for innovative and scalable
ability to help consumers manage their home and appliance efficiency and
performance

OAKLAND, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Whisker
Labs, which is bringing next generation home energy intelligence
technologies to market, today announced that its breakthrough Home
Energy Monitoring Sensor has received a CE Pro BEST Award. Whisker
Labs’ Sensor was recognized in the Control and Automation category for
its innovation and ability to help consumers not only monitor their
energy usage but also the health and performance of their home
appliances, so they can enjoy peace of mind and save money. Winners of
the 2017 CE Pro BEST Awards @ CEDIA were recognized in a ceremony at the
annual conference held in September 2017.

CE Pro BEST Awards recognize the industry’s most noteworthy new products
and technologies, and this year’s winning entries were chosen by
independent voting by a panel of integrators along with the editors of CEPro.
Products were individually judged on multiple criteria including
innovation, functionality, competitive advantages, benefits to the end
user and benefits to the integrator.

“99 percent of appliances and devices in the home are not connected,
which means that homeowners have no way of knowing if their HVAC is
working efficiently, let alone if it is about to breakdown. Ditto for
the hot water heater, refrigerator and the like,” said Amena Ali, chief
revenue officer, Whisker Labs. “Now imagine sticking a phone-sized
sensor on the electrical panel/breaker box that plugs into an outlet,
connects to the consumer’s wifi and continuously monitors the health of
home appliances and devices to notify homeowners of their home and
appliance well-being and alert them to anomalies that may signal
potential problems. This is the promise of the connected home and one
the Whisker Labs sensor and software platform can deliver.”

Whisker Labs’ breakthrough home energy monitoring sensor and home
intelligence platform delivers real-time power usage and diagnostic
information on home and appliance energy use– without the need for
electricians and electricity shutdowns. The sensor measures power in
real-time and the platform converts that energy data into meaningful
insights such as how well the HVAC, the single largest consumer of home
energy and the top appliance that consumers are concerned about, is
working. The Whisker Labs platform identifies sources of energy waste in
addition to potential impending HVAC failures, saving homeowners time
and money.

At the same time, integration of the sensor with Whisker Labs’ Connected
Savings℠ platform is another way that Whisker Labs’ partners can
deliver heating and cooling savings. Connected Savings optimizes
connected thermostats, providing partners such as energy service and
home platform providers with additional options to boost comfort and
savings.
