Intwine Energy, a leader in the development of Internet connected smart-grid products for both utilities and retail customers, today announced the adoption of its WiFi thermostat technology into Case Western Reserve University's Case Connection Zone pilot research project. The IECT220 and the IECT 210 Intwine WiFi Thermostat, as well as a beta version of the Intwine Energy WiFi Connected Whole-House Power Monitor, which includes the Blueline Innovations sensor, and Smart Plug, have been successfully demonstrated to researchers and will be installed into a beta community.

The Case Connection Zone will bring super high-speed gigabit fiber to approximately 100 residences adjacent to the university as the first step in an initiative to determine how utilization of gigabit Internet connectivity can be made relevant and useful in people's everyday lives. The project will include Internet-enabled services related to health care and wellness, neighborhood and public safety, education and household energy management.
