Using the EC-100, your utility can use the smart
meter and its connected advanced metering
infrastructure (AMI) network to better communicate
with you.
These messages can be helpful notices to encourage
energy efficiency that include tips on lowering bills or
simple “spare the air” reminders. The utility also can
alert you with more critical information as demands on
the electrical infrastructure change.
The messages can include Demand Response event notifications, potential service status
alerts, critical peak demand times or changes in pricing.
Depending on the urgency of the messages, you can view a simple notification on the
bottom left of the Home Screen (less critical) to pop up messages that take over the entire
screen and require user confirmation (more critical).
Literally, your EC-100 can be used to keep you out of the dark when important changes in
your electrical service are occurring.
My Energy
Your EC-100 lets you see how much electricity your home uses.
Note
: It will take several days, weeks, and months for all charts to show valuable data, as
the EC-100 gathers data over time.
From the Main Menu, tap
My Energy
.
You can then view your current Real Time
Electricity, or select either
Electricity Use
or
Use
by Device
to see more detailed energy
consumption data.
• View the data in terms of cost ($) or
electricity consumption (kWh).
• Select the unit of time (Day, Week, Month,
Year), and review other time periods by
tapping the arrows next to the displayed
date range.
• Tap
View
to view different data, compare
with different time periods, chart your
home’s electricity usage with other homes
like yours or with the outside temperature,
and more.

Tip
:
On the Program
page, you will notice that there are four
(4) Program Events (Wake, Leave, Re-
turn, Sleep) for each day of the week.
You can set a different start time and
temperature for each Event for each
day of the week, or copy the same
schedule to all days of the week.

Select the Program Event that you
want to change (Wake, Leave, Return,
Sleep).
Adjust the start time Event by tapping
the
Up
and
Down
arrows on the
screen. An Event ends when the next
one begins.
Select your desired Heating and Cool-
ing set temperatures for the Event.
• The Heat set temperature is used
when your thermostat is in Heat
mode.
• The Cool set temperature is used
when your thermostat is in Cool
mode.
Tap
Next
if you want to adjust the temperature or start time for the next Event (repeat
Steps 6 and 7 for any other Event you want to change), or tap

Vacation Hold
If you’re going to be away from your home for an extended period of time, but you do not
want to turn your thermostat off, you may set a ‘Vacation’ hold.
Energy Events
Energy Events allow you and your utility to man-
age your electricity use by making energy-efficient
changes to your heating and cooling system during
peak times of electricity cost and/or use. Energy
Events are initiated based on event rules, and cause
a red “Energy Event” notice to appear on the Home
Screen. It is possible to override all non-mandatory
Energy Events by tapping the green check next to the
event you wish to override.
Start by tapping the
Event Rules
button. Ini-
tially, there may be no rules displayed, or one
or more rules defined by your utility company
which you can modify or disable. This
screen will also list rules which you create.
Tap
Create New Rule
and select from one of
the available rule types: High Price (where ap-
plicable), My Cost, or My Electricity Use. Once
you have selected a rule type, you will set your
desired limit which initiates the
energy event.
By default, an Energy Event will offset the
temperature of your thermostat by 2 degrees
from your set temperature in both Heat mode
and Cool mode. If you wish to increase the
temperature offset, tap the
Offset thermo-
stats
button.
Increase the temperature offset for Heat mode
and/or Cool mode by tapping the up arrows.
Generally, the more you offset the tempera-
ture, the less electricity you will use, and the
more money you will save.

Note:
You may define only one of each type of rule.
Rules may be modified, or deleted and then recreated
with new limits for price, cost or use. In case rules initi-
ate overlapping energy events, only one rule will be
applied, based on the following order of priority:
1. Demand Response (utility-defined)
2. High Price (user-defined, where applicable)
3. My Cost (user-defined)
4. My Electricity Use (user-defined).
Refer to the
EC-100 Energy Controller Setup Guide
for additional information about setting
up and configuring your new EC-100 Energy Controller.
Some configurations of the EC-100 will enable you to create your own Energy Event rules
to help you manage your electricity use based on your desired limit for price of electricity
(where applicable), daily cost or electricity use:
Troubleshooting
If the EC-100 is not working::
• Ensure that the power adapter is firmly plugged into the base of the EC-100.
• Move the EC-100 closer to the home’s smart meter.
• Avoid placing the EC-100 near 2.4 GHz wireless phones and microwave ovens.
