The EMU-2 is a robust, secure, in-home display (IHD), designed with the consumer in mind. Based on years of user feedback and interoperability experience, the EMU-2 has been deployed by utilities in thousands of homes across the US, and in Canada and Australia. EMU-2 presents real-time demand (kW), price, energy use (kWh), and even text messages, as communicated by a zigbee-equipped smart meter.
