  • Smart breakers help simplify an electrified tomorrow

Energy needs are changing, increasing and electrifying. 

How will you adjust your energy infrastructure? Our smart breakers enable more flexible energy usage, targeted infrastructure upgrades and breakout capabilities for smarter energy decisions. So you can prioritise and switch energy use in homes, flats, buildings and the electrical grid.

Get more functionality out of home energy systems

Adjust and optimise home electrical systems to keep power flowing where you need it, no matter what: 
  • Stretch the capabilities of onsite renewables and storage
  • Scale energy systems to power EV charging easily and flexibly
  • Maintain power to essential loads longer 

In new construction and retrofits to existing homes, our smart breakers enable intelligent home energy management through monitoring and control of any connected appliances and devices. Delivering new insights into energy usage with advanced metering. And enabling you to control essential and non-essential energy usage.

Maximise renewables, energy storage and make your infrastructure work smarter by balancing home energy loads based on your priorities. Gain the flexibility to manage home energy usage so that homeowners, energy storage and solar providers can power essential loads at home for longer during a power outage. And redirect energy to power what you need when you need it.

Create new ways to optimise energy usage today and into the future with our smart breakers. 

Bring smart home to flats

Anticipate and manage home energy use in multi-unit dwellings to target infrastructure upgrades such as the electrification of appliances. Keep energy flowing where and when you need it:

  • Support increasing energy demand
  • Enable greater visibility into flats/apartment energy usage with advanced metering
  • Act on energy insights to resolve potential issues and avoid excess energy usage
  • Make it easier to manage household loads in flats for grid services

With an open API, our smart breakers enable interoperability and make it easy for multi-unit dwelling management companies to advance smart and more flexible energy infrastructure. This capability also simplifies integration into smart home energy systems and distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS).  

Additionally, with new energy insights and the ability to control usage when and where you need it, smart breakers create novel flexibility in energy systems to power critical loads for longer.

Enable more flexible energy systems to power flats today and into the future with our smart breakers. 

Cope with new building energy demand from electric vehicles

Unlock new energy insights and control capabilities to optimise building energy systems and electric vehicle charging:

  • Minimise need for electrical service upgrades
  • Make intelligent decisions on how to use on-site renewables to power electric vehicles

As EV adoption increases, charging infrastructure needs to scale and can extend existing building energy systems beyond their capacity. Smart charging powered by our smart breakers helps manage charging demand and power consumption to avoid or defer expensive infrastructure upgrades. Through an open API platform, smart breakers gather load insights, share data and enable energy storage and building energy management systems to balance energy needs and resources – stretching what existing energy infrastructure can power.

Create new capabilities to charge buildings through smart breakers.

Energise smarter utility demand response programmes

Gain the ability to analyse behind-the-meter energy data to expand the impact of demand response programmes:

  • Move beyond the meter to gain in-depth data and insights behind the meter
  • Streamline installation and equipment requirements for demand response and other demand management programmes
  • Make it simple to integrate metering and control for load specific rate tariffs
  • Enable customers to more easily take advantage of advanced rates, like time of use and demand charges, and maximise savings

With our smart breakers, there are new opportunities to reduce equipment requirements, simplify installation and control for demand response programmes. Legacy metering and control relays can be replaced with smart breakers. For example, using smart breakers in demand response programmes targeting water heaters enables easier installation and control during demand response events.

Furthermore, smart breakers make it easier for energy consumers to take advantage of innovative load control methods and maximise savings while helping manage energy demand to match supply.

Enable flexible load management to help stabilise the grid with smart breakers.
