Introduction
The GreenWave Reality
®
platform helps create a smart, energy-efficient home by monitoring and
controlling your appliances and electronics. You can conserve energy with minimal impact to your lifestyle
by using our products to easily manage your devices. Simply connect the Gateway to your home network,
plug your devices into our PowerNodes, and then monitor and control the devices’ power usage through a
Web browser or smartphone application.
PowerNode Overview
A PowerNode is a smart outlet adapter that connects your devices to electrical outlets and your
GreenWave Reality energy management system. This allows you to monitor and control your devices’
power usage remotely through a Web browser or smart device application. PowerNodes are available
with a one-port or multi-port configuration.
•
PowerNodes automatically connect to your Gateway, enabling the Gateway to securely connect
the devices you have powered through your PowerNode to your home network.
•
PowerNodes collect and transmit data on the energy consumption of its connected devices to the
Gateway, enabling you to see your energy use information through a Web browser or smart
device application.
•
Using a Web browser or smart device, you can power on or off the connected devices either from
within your home or from a remote location.
•
You can control the energy consumption of each connected device using Smart Controls. These
user-defined controls allow you to turn devices on or off remotely through a Web browser or
smart device.
•
You can also use Smart Controls to set a schedule that automatically turns your devices on or off
at pre-defined times.
