I will/might pay for an app that can hook up to my home appliances/circuits and gives me a monthly dashboard of my utility usage broken down to individual items. For example, I want to know how much electricity I used from the bulbs in my kitchen vs bedroom. Bonus if it can tell me how to improve the cost by suggesting better alternatives. So if I use kitchen lights for 5 hours in a day and they are not energy efficient, give me options to save money. Kinda like a mint.com for utilities.
I will/might pay for a smart mailbox (physical not email) that can scan my mails and tell me if I have any useful mail other than junk. Bonus point if it organizes/separates the junk mail automatically in a separate bundle than my regular/good mail.
Note: You can tell that I am a homeowner. In general, a lot of home related stuff need serious fixing. So much can be done via great technology. Example: Lockitron is cool. Need more innovative things like that for home stuff.
EDIT: I edited the mailbox to physical mailbox to clarify that i m not talking about email.

- argonaut 13y agoThe smart mailbox idea was attempted by a well-funded company called Outbox. They shut down last week, for insufficient demand (cost of user acquisition too high) http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/21/outbox-shuts-down/ http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/21/outbox-shuts-down/
- edelans 13y agoFor the dashboard of your utility usage broken down to individual items, check smart impulse, a french startup http://www.smart-impulse.com/ http://www.smart-impulse.com/. They do exactly this.
