INSTEON – Perfect for "Beyond the Meter"

INSTEON gives utilities unparalleled reporting and control of HVAC, Heaters, Pumps, Appliances, Lighting and dozens of other device types. INSTEON is the most reliable wireless HAN because it communicates over a dual-mesh (using both radio frequency (RF) and the existing electrical wires in the home (powerline)).

INSTEON enables energy management, demand response, scheduled load-shedding, real-time email reports & alerts, daylight harvesting and automated control/response.

INSTEON technology "bridges" exist to internet protocol (IP), Serial (RS232), Infrared (IR), Zwave and Zigbee.
