The SE5000 features an in-home display (IHD) coupled with a residential thermostat, providing direct HVAC load control by utility companies serving smart grid customers.
The SimpleComfort SE5000 series is designed around the ZigBee Smart Energy (SE) profile for communication with smart meters, a core technology for monitoring, controlling, and automating the delivery and use of energy to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
The SE5000 PCT series is the latest addition to ICM Controls’ SimpleComfort product line, and features 7-day programing, multi-stage heat/cool compatibility with adjustable temperature differential for each stage, automatic changeover, and soft-touch control buttons.
The SE5000’s in-home energy display allows the end user to monitor key energy data, thereby helping in energy saving, the company said.
Ron Kadah, president of ICM Control, said: ”The SimpleComfort SE5000 generates greater efficiencies by bringing real-time visibility into the home, thereby empowering the consumer with the knowledge they need to make educated decisions about their power usage.
”The SimpleComfort SE5000 elevates ICM Controls to the forefront of smart grid technology.”
