By analyzing and presenting the data gathered by the Energy Management System 100 in an interface and linking that with control over home devices, consumers can see the impact of change in their energy usage.
Joel Gilbert, chief software architect and cofounder of Apogee Interactive, said: “So many people talk about the smart grid and smart metering in terms of providing data to consumers. But you need more than just energy usage data. You have to enrich the data with analysis and a compelling interface to keep consumers engaged for the long run. That’s what this partnership delivers.”
Control4 said that the relationship marks the first time Apogee’s software will be available on an in-home device, and will enable the Control4 Energy Management System 100 to turn multiple streams of energy-related data into actionable information that can be used to monitor and make changes to home energy usage.
