Available later this summer, the HAL Energy Management Console (HALemc) is the latest add-on application to the HAL suite of software. Customers can see real-time electrical usage, project monthly electric bills, and manage usage. HALemc performs micro-power shedding of lights, appliances, HVAC and more. It does this by analyzing power usage trends to make intelligent decisions on what should be on, off or adjusted. HALemc is a Green Solution that can $AVE money!

Unlike other automation companies with an interface to power monitoring devices, HALemc exposes various power usage events in HAL for use in custom automation rules. In addition to the value of actually seeing the real time data and adjusting your usage habits, HALemc allows you to graph various aspects of your usage as it relates to various events occurring in the home. The real value of HALemc is in letting it manage power usage when the house is put into a Green Mode. Based on information from HALemc, HAL can then perform micro-power-shedding by adjusting scheduled lighting, HVAC and other power usage to allow you dramatically lower your power consumption.

This is based on a number of factors such as occupancy or how aggressive you want the system to be when it comes to managing the devices. So the ability to merge the data captured by usage of power with the ability to make intelligent decisions on what should be on or off is the real power of HALemc.
