Maybe you don’t know about this latest invention but actually, an ‘intelligent’ plug is being developed that will switch off electrical devices such as TVs and desk lamps when they are not being used. It is part of an electrical system designed to cut household power bills by keeping watch over energy use.

Home owners will be told how much power every device is soaking up, and when equipment is operating needlessly. The system will also detect and switch off devices that have been carelessly left on in empty rooms. Researchers hope to see the plugs fitted as standard to all domestic appliances within a few years. They will transmit information to a central control point in the home. It’s like a one stop center where you can control your electrical system by just one click.

Hermmm… let’s wait for this next generation house system. I hope this system can prevent our house from the thief.
