Your In-Home Display

Overview

The In-Home Display by Aztech Associates Inc. is a user-friendly product for monitoring energy consumption and its associated cost

within the home. It communicates wirelessly to the smart electricity meter installed on your home to present electricity used, its

estimated cost, and historical energy consumption. This guide explains how to use the In-Home Display and outlines what

information can be displayed.

The In-Home Display is lightweight and compact and is supplied with a power supply, so that you can place it in a convenient and

easy-to-view location. The color of the Light Bar (green, yellow, or red) is used to display different electricity rates at a glance and

the “speed” of its motion is proportional to the amount of energy you are consuming. The LCD display clearly shows numerical and

graphical information with the option to adjust backlight intensity for better visibility.

This manual reflects all the features available in the Aztech In-Home Display, your display may not have all the features shown.

Although efforts have been made to provide accurate electricity cost information, all electricity cost data displayed by the In-Home

Display is estimated for informational and educational purposes only and not for billing
