Energie - Wasser, Gas und Strom bilden die Grundlage unseres täglichen Lebens. In Deutschland befinden wir uns in einer Art Luxussituation. Ressourcen sind fast überall verfügbar, werden von uns teils als selbstverständlich betrachtet. Jedoch werden diese Ressourcen immer knapper - insbesondere bei Wasser haben wir dies in den letzten Sommern vermehrt festgestellt. Wie sieht unsere Zukunft aus, wenn wir weiter so mit unseren Lebensgrundlagen umgehen? Immer wichtiger wird der bewusste Umgang mit diesen kostspieligen Ressourcen – wo kann wirklich gespart werden? Oftmals ist uns vielleicht auch gar nicht bewusst, wo wie viel Energie verbraucht wird - und ob dies unbedingt notwendig ist. Die iQ energyGuard-Familie schafft Abhilfe. Als Wächter für den privaten Haushalt überwachen sie Wasser- , Gas-, und Stromverbräuche, analysieren diese und geben die benötigte Transparenz über die Kosten. So kann jeder Verbraucher nachvollziehen, was wann verbraucht wird und entsprechend Potenzial zur Optimierung aufdecken.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iQ Energy Guard at none against VBus®Touch HC's 8. iQ Energy Guard also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). VBus®Touch HC's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
