What is a Power Monitor / In-Home Display (IHD) / Energy Monitoring Unit?
It is a small display unit that can be mounted on a wall, placed on a counter or made accessible from a desktop computer. The display provides information on current and historic home energy use. The IHD also can present information on costs, carbon footprint, system peak alerts from your co-op and other energy metrics. The information is sent to the display unit from sensors located in your electric panel, from the home utility meter, or from your co-op’s communications infrastructure. With some applications this information can be sent to Web browsers and cell phones. Some IHDs can even control appliances in the home such as water heaters and air conditioning units.
