1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Executive Summary
The US Smart Outlet is a radio controlled outlet that can apply or remove power to a device plugged into
its receptacle. It also measures RMS power being utilized by the device being controlled.
The Outlet communicates wirelessly via 802.15.4 ZigBee SE 1.0 protocol, and responds to the ZigBee
Smart Energy commands. It can be controlled via the Tendril Connect Platform through several portals
(consumer, utility, support) for use in home automation and energy monitoring applications. The device is
intended for indoor applications on UL rated 15A circuits.
1.2 About This Specification
This document describes the Outlet minimal requirements for purchase, such as performance,
environmental specifications, and regulatory compliance requirements. This document is created and
maintained by the Engineering and Operations Team.
