You hear a lot about energy use these days. About how if you reduce the amount of energy you use you’ll both save
money and the environment. But saving money by using less electricity is only possible if you understand when and
how you are using it. That’s what Aeotec’s Home Energy Meters provide you with: understanding, for your whole
home.
Installed in an electricity box, your new energy meter will monitor the total amount of electricity your home uses with
accuracy and speed. Using a wireless Z-Wave® connection, it’ll then feed the data it records back to your smart
home’s gateway. In near real-time you’ll have a full understanding of how much electricity you use and when you use
it.
Familiarize yourself with your Home Energy Meter.
Your Home Energy Meter from Aeotec is comprised of two parts: the Main Body and Clamps. Once installed, the
meter will sit near your home’s main circuit box, while the clamps are attached to it.
Quick start.
The installation of your Home Energy Meter has two major parts: the installation of it into your home’s main circuit
box and the syncing of it to your Z-Wave network. What follows are the instructions for both parts. Please note that
only a licensed electrician, with knowledge and understanding of electrical systems and electrical safety, should
perform the electrical installation of your meter into your home’s circuit box. The syncing of your Home Energy Meter
with your Z-Wave network can be performed by you.
