1 Introduction

1.1 What is fifthplay EnergySmart?

With fifthplay EnergySmart, you can collect and analyse important energy data about your home or
building in no time at all. This means that you will know exactly where your energy is being
consumed and you will be able to rapidly intervene to rein in excessive energy consumption. In
addition to energy consumption, you can also monitor energy production which allows you to
increase the performance of your solar panels, for instance.

fifthplay EnergySmart gives you a real-time view of the behaviour of hundreds of measuring points
at various sites. You will know immediately where energy is being consumed in excess.

fifthplay EnergySmart lets you analyse all of your data and view this in easy-to-use charts. This allows
you to save both time and money, because you know immediately where you need to intervene.
Several major advantages of fifthplay EnergySmart are:

■ available at all times and everywhere via the internet and your smartphone

■ user-friendly interface

■ advanced analytical functions for electricity, water and gas

■ dashboards which show real-time data

■ data can be exported in a variety of formats

■ automated reporting, alarm and notification services

■ remote monitoring and data logging by means of our proprietary fifthplay gateway tech-

nology.
