Bundling Energy Management Systems with Other Home Services

Mobile device maker Nokia envisions building a mobile platform that could bundle household energy management system with other residential offerings.

Nokia last week announced a partnership with one of Europe's biggest energy companies, RWE, to develop a comprehensive solution for managing energy consumption and limit residential CO2 emissions. According to Nokia:
With this in mind, the first joint solution from Nokia and RWE on late 2009 will focus on home heating management. The product consists of a central control unit together with remote-controlled thermostats for the actual radiator. The user interface will be the PC and the mobile phone. In addition, a separate display will be available. RWE is also planning special offers combining these devices with new energy supply contracts. In a second step, Nokia and RWE are planning additional services in connection with smart meters beyond 2009. These services will provide consumers with real-time information about their energy consumption and allow them to control their energy bill remotely.
What's most interesting about Nokia's mobile solution is its intent to develop a mobile smart-home platform to offer a variety of residential services, such as energy efficiency, security and wellness.
