Thermostat Connects with Smart Meters for Residential Demand Response
TORONTO — ecobee announced its Smart Si thermostat with ZigBee Smart Energy Profile (SEP) is now compatible with Southern California Edison’s (SCE) advanced metering infrastructure network. As a compatible home area network device, select SCE customers will be able to connect their ecobee thermostat to their smart meter to manage energy usage in their homes.
As part of SCE’s limited launch of residential demand-response-capable thermostats, the ecobee Smart Si allows SCE to offer two-way communication to its customers and provides automated energy conservation to help customers save on their energy bills.
