EnergiMidt partnered with CSide for a project to enable customers to benefit from advanced home security, automation and energy management services. Customers are able to monitor their energy consumption; remotely protect their homes against intrusion, fire or floods; and automate and manage their homes more efficiently.
The system allows users to remotely control appliances and heating, optimizing energy savings while keeping comfortable and increasing their safety. The efficient management of heating is particularly important, so the platform lets consumers monitor and control remotely their heating appliances.
EnergiMidt also partnered with the local Securitas monitoring centre, which enables users to temporarily sign over their alerts to Securitas.
This project also explores new business potential with load management, district heating and multi-utility meter reading (electricity, gas and water).
