CHAPTER 1 A Few Introductions
1.1 ENERGYHUB AND YOU
We all want to save energy in our homes, especially the energy we pay
for every month. But there are two things we lack: information about
how much energy we use, and a system that presents this information
in a way we can immediately understand and act on.
That’s where your Home Base comes in. It oers you unprecedented
control over your home’s energy usage (and bills). It’s quick and easy to
set up, and its intuitive touchscreen interface makes managing your appliance and thermostat settings simpler than ever.
The Home Base is your first step into the world of EnergyHub. The
EnergyHub account you’re about to set up on your Home Base will
be accessible anywhere— soon you’ll control your home energy usage
via the web, smart phones, and other devices.

1.2 THE HOME BASE ADVANTAGE
Using the Home Base, you can set up your EnergyHub account, view
information about your appliances’ power usage, and configure schedules
and settings for your appliances and EnergyHub-compatible thermostat.
If you have a ZigBee-enabled smart meter or ERT meter, you may be able
to receive whole-home energy readings from your utility company.
Your Home Base lets you control appliances and thermostats located
anywhere in your home from one central location.

to a wireless Internet connection in your home. Internet subscription fees
