compatibility for information on compatible meters. If you have a compatible meter, your utility
will give you instructions on how to pair it with an Asema E.
If you don't have a compatible utility meter or don't want to use it, Asema Electronics manufactures
a line of metering tools to help you measure your consumption, the Asema M series.
Asema M1 is an optical reader for the utility meter. Each modern utility meter (whether its com-
patible with Asema E or not) has a blinking LED light that signals the readings of the meter. The
Asema M1 is a product that is attached on top of that LED light and it monitors your consumption
from there.
Asema M2 is an independent metering tool that uses current clamps for measuring the incoming
electrical current in your house. The Asema M2 is installed to the distribution box of your home
and it wirelessly transmits the measured electricity consumption.
For more information on how to physically install Asema M1 and Asema M2, please refer to the
user manuals of those products. Then read Section 6.2.8, “Central meter” for details on how to
pair it to your system.
3.1.3. Remote controls and wireless buttons
Asema E is compatible with a range of inexpensive wireless remote controllers such as wireless
keyrings, wall switches and many more. These make it possible for you to control your home from
various locations of your choice without the need to always use the touchscreen or your phone.
For more information on compatible remote controls, visit http://www.asema.com/compatibility.
The read Section 6.2.4, “Remotes” for more information on how to add them to the system.
3.1.4. Motion detectors and other sensors
As well as remotes, Asema E can also work with many third-party sensors like motion detectors
or ambient light sensors. These can be made to for instance trigger themes like "night mode" or
"day mode" you define in the system.
For a list of compatible devices visit http://www.asema.com/compatibility. For instructions on how
to add sensors to the system read Section 6.2.3, “Sensors”.
3.1.5. Weather stations
Weather stations help in monitoring the weather conditions outside the house or temperature
inside the house. Asema E supports wireless, battery operated weather sensors that help you in
creating hourly time series of how the weather has changed. These are automatically transferred
to www.asema.com from where you can track them. Of course the corresponding screenlets help
you do that, too.
For a list of compatible weather stations, go to http://www.asema.com/compatibility. Instructions
on how to pair weather stations with Asema E can be found at Section 6.2.7, “Weather stations”.
3.2. Home and Away
Home and Away are basic features of home automation that should form the core of energy saving.
In the simplest mode Home and Away allow you to turn on and off multiple appliances/lights at
once, but you can also expand them to activate custom Themes, depending on your settings.
