Tri Cascade, Inc. has launched the i-BRIGHT™7x Smart Surge Protector, a Wi-Fi-enabled home energy management tool embedded with online scheduling and power consumption metering on the Microsoft® Cloud. The i-BRIGHT7x Smart Surge Protector features a sleek design boasting seven outlets (two “always on” and five simultaneously schedulable), plus two USB charge ports. In addition, Tri Cascade is launching its proprietary BRIGHTenergy™ Cloud system, providing control for consumers to instantly turn the i-BRIGHT7x Smart Surge Protector on or off at anytime, from anywhere, via the BRIGHTenergy website or app for iPhone.
“The i-BRIGHT7x is one of the most comprehensive products of its kind, allowing consumers to more closely monitor and manage their energy usage while eliminating standby (phantom) power consumption when not using a device,” said Danielle Lennon, VP of Strategic Marketing, Tri Cascade, Inc. “This product will help consumers save money on their energy bills, thus providing a return on investment within the first year.”
