Most importantly, though, Conserve Insight can tell you how much it costs to power these appliances. Belkin’s Conserve Insight measures how many watts your appliance draws, its [carbon footprint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbongauge) and how much it costs to run. This cool information may or may not affect what you choose to keep plugged in, but it is still nice to know regardless. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Smart Home Energy Monitoring:** Opportunity for companies to develop advanced energy monitoring devices that provide detailed insights and cost analysis for individual appliances. - **Energy Efficiency Awareness:** Opportunity for businesses to educate and empower consumers to make informed decisions about energy consumption. - **Data-driven Energy Optimization:** Opportunity to leverage the data collected from home energy meters to optimize energy usage and reduce costs at a larger scale. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to integrate energy monitoring features into their products. - **Smart Home Technology:** Opportunity for companies in the smart home technology sector to develop innovative solutions for energy monitoring and management. - **Energy Management Services:** Opportunity for energy management service providers to offer advanced analytics and optimization solutions based on the data collected from home energy meters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Home Energy Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homey-energy-dongle.md) - [Next-Generation Home Energy Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-energy-monitors.md) - [Connected Energy-Monitoring Smart Plugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tplink-kasa-smart-plug-mini.md) - [Energy-Monitoring Smart Outlets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eve-energy-outlet.md) - [In-Shower Water Meters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-bergvattnet.md) - [Real-Time Power-Tracking Outlets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelly-plug-gen4.md) - [Energy-Saving Smart Outlets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-outlet-h2.md) - [Energy Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wattspan.md) - [Three-Phase Energy Meters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-3em.md)
