Enercient...um, yeah- about that

I guess its probably past time to kill enercient. I think the biggest problem was that people just didn't get it. I just wanted to take wireless sensors, put them in a few buildings, monitor equipment data, and eventually manage energy use.
I didn't really think it was that complicated. The problem was that at the end of the day people just wanted us to just do heating and air conditioning work.
The economy didn't help much either. We couldn't get investors and we couldn't get anyone who would let us beta test at their site.
I think the thing that really killed it for me, is the realization that 3 years ago this was all new and exciting, whereas now there are companied rolling out a new product like this everyday.

I'm not giving up on building technologies, and I still know that wireless tech is still going to be a big growth segment of commercial and industrial controls- i'm just giving up on enercient as a company. We tried, we learned a lot about how this industry works, got to do some amazing things and meet some amazing people, but at the end of the day, we just don't have the funding to run with the pack- let alone try to stay on the bleeding edge. Let's just hope that I can take what i've learned and carve out a niche as an expert over the next 20 years until I retire...
