UtilitiesEnergy Management2MildHomeowner$ implied
A homeowner wants real-time visibility into their electricity and internet usage data independently from their utility provider, feeling that they lack access to their own consumption information.
Existing utility bills provide only monthly aggregated data with no real-time breakdown, and there is no easy, integrated way to independently monitor both electricity and internet usage.
