The Digi X-Grid is an ‘extended grid’ that enables IP-based monitoring and control of home energy devices beyond the electric meter, while the GroundedPower iCES system has an interactive application to help energy customers understand their use and cost of energy and tools.
The GroundedPower system provides visibility into energy use and demand, savings metrics in kWh, dollars and CO2 emissions, thus motivating the customers to sign up for energy saving activities.
Under the partnership, GroundedPower is reselling Digi products and services as a part of its iCES platform, while Digi is supporting GroundedPower to jointly drive continued advancements, marketing and sales of energy service offerings in the ‘extended grid’.
The Digi X-Grid, which includes smart energy gateways, XBee ZigBee modules and adapters and iDigi platform, provides access to devices within the ‘extended grid’ infrastructure to help to connect directly to home energy devices such as meters, thermostats and load control devices.
David Rosi, senior vice president of marketing, sales and business development at GroundedPower, said: “The Digi X-Grid allows consumers to easily plug their home energy devices into our Interactive Customer Engagement System.
“This allows consumers to integrate real-time energy monitoring with our suite of consumer engagement and behavioral tools to help consumers conserve energy and save money.”
