Encino, CA – Universal Devices, an industry leader in energy management
and automation devices, announced today general availability of its
enhanced weather reporting and forecast module. Together with
HAMweather's Aeris service, users can now utilize weather data to make
smart energy management decisions with the ISY994 platform.
Simple logic can be used to control devices within the home or business
and use the weather information to augment the intelligent decisions.
By taking weather into consideration users have the power to
intelligently decide how to control HVAC, Lighting, and Irrigation
based on current and future events.
The ISY994 platform is customizable with a variety of valuable modules
offering a low cost platform that grows with the user. Adding to this
functionality the HAMweather module provides 40 points of data such as
temperature, humidity, wind, and intensity levels. Universal Devices
Chief Product Officer, Mike Ippolito said “The power of the ISY994
logic combined with the reliable weather from HAMweather is the missing
piece in (home & business) automation.”
With current and forecast weather, the ISY994 series controllers
provide unprecedented flexibility and cost savings when combined with
Utility‐based Demand Response initiatives such as OpenADR and Smart
Energy Profile (SEP.)
“Weather forecasts are a valuable tool for load reduction initiatives,”
said Barry Haaser, managing director, OpenADR Alliance. “By providing
weather information to OpenADR2.0 certified devices, customers can make
informed decisions about whether to opt in or out of a demand response
event or to pre‐cool their premises in advance of the event.”
The Universal Devices ISY994 series provides users a low cost
automation platform for truly controlling energy costs. The ISY994 is
the most powerful automation controller for home, business, and
industry. Capable of communicating with a wide variety of off‐the‐shelf
devices such as thermostats, lighting, A/V equipment, and pumps
wirelessly using ZigBee, Z‐Wave, Inseton, or via Network and direct
contacts. In addition the ISY994 series, when properly equipped, can
read energy consumption from individual devices and smart meters.
Unlike other solutions that use ‘the cloud’ to process and store
information, the ISY994 allows users to keep their information private
by running everything local, but yet accessible from a variety of
devices.
