Smart Home Energy Network.
AmericanGrid's affordable solution includes a self
install, Smart Home Energy Network (patent pending) and a secure
personal
home energy portal. The (AG100) AG Smart Home Energy Network consists of:
AG101- AG Home Energy Gateway
The AG Home Energy Gateway wirelessly monitors and manages the
connected thermostat and most home major appliances. It uses any
standard residential broadband service (dsl, cable, fiber, wimax etc.)
to
securely communicate with our data center located on the "internet
cloud".
AG102- AG Home Energy Monitor
The AG Home Energy Monitor keeps track of the whole house energy usage at the Main Control
Panel. Reports usage in real time to your personal energy portal
providing full transparency of usage in dollars & cents.
AG103- AG Smart Wireless Thermostat
The AG Smart Wireless Thermostat has an easy connector and a
universal back plate - so it makes use of existing holes and screws and
even easier to connect the wires. No need to drill new holes.
AG104- AG Appliance Controller (110V)
The AG Appliance Controller helps you to monitor and control most major
appliances in your home. It has a remote control switch to give
you full flexibility and complete freedom to manage your appliance.
AG105- AG Wireless repeater
The AG Wireless Repeater acts as an access point. They can be
strategically placed any where in the home, in between the energy
gateway, thermostat, monitor and appliance controllers to optimize your Smart Home Energy Network.
PERSONAL HOME ENERGY PORTAL:
A secure personal home energy portal, so you
can clearly see your energy dollars - for the whole home and by
appliance - updated in realtime (about 5.4 seconds - a Tesla takes 5.6
seconds to go from 0-60mph; a Fisker takes 5.8 seconds and a Chevrolet
Volt takes 8.5 seconds).
For ultimate freedom and flexibility, you can remotely control your
home from your pesonal cell phone through standard TXT
(SMS) messaging feature, which you already use all the time
anyway. So, there isn't much to learn. Standard text
messaging rates or bundles may apply from your carrier (Verizon, ATT,
T-Mobile, Sprint etc.).
Check the following at a
glance on your personal energy portal:
- Instant Energy Usage in dollars & cents - by appliance &
for the whole home - based on your current rate plans.
