PowerWatch provides a flexible hardware & software platform that allows utilities to offer their customers the control that consumers want and the Smart Grid needs.
Read MoreThe essence of the PowerWatch Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is to empower the consumer to take control of their energy use and develop a conservation behavior. This results in lower costs to the consumer and reduced peak demand for the power utility – key goals of the Smart Grid.
PowerWatch brings much-needed consumer friendliness to the Smart Grid. By partnering with PowerWatch and using our Total Home Energy Management System, your customers will be much more satisfied with their user experience while achieving energy conservation particularly during peak demand.
One of the key goals of the Smart Grid is to reduce peak demand. Power utilities are realizing that simply deploying v doesn’t achieve the desired consumer behavioral change.
The simple to use wireless display can also tell you your energy costs over time, forecast your cost and consumption and calculate cost based on tiered consumption and time of day usage.
Simply put, the Smart Grid employs digital communication across the power distribution network with the goal of improving its performance. PowerWatch provides critical information in a simple to use, yet powerful conservation tool.
This demo video shows the variety of ways the PowerWatch system fits into any existing a home or commercial facility. With or without a smart meter, PowerWatch has you covered.
