As the technologies mature and consumer awareness continues to grow, the demand for energy management solutions will increase. One of the company’s helping to drive the maturation of the technology, as well as consumer awareness is Schneider Electric. Earlier this spring the Palatine, Ill.-based company announced several updates to its Wiser Home Management System. Schneider describes the Wiser system as a “cruise control” system for a home’s energy systems and as part of the updates the company has augmented its web portal and expanded the availability of its control apps…

Harkins says the average number of Z-Wave devices per panel is three to four and “growing almost every month,” adding “we saw an explosion, literally, in sales with attachment rates of Z-Wave…

Julie Jacobson | 01/16 11:43 AM,

DIY home automation systems were everywhere at CES 2013 but none was more compelling than the new Almond+ from Securifi. Securifi started life with the Almond wireless 802.11n router, featuring a small built-in touchscreen for diagnostics and feedback – a handy little product, given the difficulty that most consumers have configuring and troubleshooting routers via the PC. Now, take that product, tack on some home automation radios and applications, and you have the Almond+ system, which debuted at Eureka Park at CES. This tiny router/smart-home hub packs: Gigabit Ethernet (4…

Julie Jacobson | 01/10 09:05 AM,
6 Comments
Lowe’s may well be the first retailer to succeed with home automation. That’s my verdict after visiting with the home improvement store at CES 2013 and revisiting the Iris solution that didn’t impress me a year ago. What started as a modest solution based on the AlertMe ZigBee-enabled home control system from UK is now full-fledged platform compatible with ZigBee and Z-Wave. At $9.99 per month, the system blows away what Verizon gives you for the same price. The Iris hub features ZigBee, Z-Wave and WiFi, and also boasts a…

Usually when someone talks about lighting control and energy management they discuss CFL bulbs and dimmers.

Arizona-based Performance Shadings is offering dealers the ability to control natural light through its automated shading systems and drapery tracks. The company’s Infinity Intelligent Wireless Interface incorporates the ZigBee Pro wireless mesh network technology to enable the wireless control of its roll shades, lift and drapery…

And chances are it’s all going to be done on a backbone that many consider uncool and low-tech: your home’s powerline. That’s right. Your home’s high-voltage electrical lines may be the ideal network for energy efficiency services provided by a smart grid. And…
