Introduction
In this era, everybody is interested in reducing energy bills and there by

saving energy while simultaneously contributing towards an ecofriendly future. Many researchers are now analyzing how energy can be
saved at home by using simple techniques. Also if people can monitor
their home energy consumption and price, they will change their habits
to save money.
Proceeding the with the same thought process, Lead Solar has introduced
LeadSolar Link Superior - Energy Management Controller which helps you
to monitor, manage and control over your energy usage as well as your
bills. It utilizes the smart grid and smart metering technology from your
power company and Echelon. It keeps the record of your energy usage in
form of charts that will help you figure out
How much energy you're using
When exactly you're using it (what times of the day, what days of
the week and which months of the year)
How best to reduce your consumption
How much progress you're making at doing so
Based on your energy usage, you can manage your appliance or the
devices to be turned ON or OFF. Its wireless connectivity allows you to
keep track on your energy usage via computers or smart phones. It keeps
track on your expenses behind the energy usage and plots the chart.
Figure 1-1. shows the LeadSolar Link Superior - Energy Management
Controller.

Overview
Introduction
This section will familiarise you with the usage of LeadSolar Link Superior
hardware.
LeadSolar Link Superior is a smartly designed and user-friendly energy
manager for your home. A touch screen LCD display and intuitive
graphical user interface provides user a smart control over the energy
used by the appliances. It communicates with the power providers and
the home appliances allowing you to have complete control over your
bills!
It acts as a communication medium between your energy meter,
appliances and the power provider. Its wireless connectivity allows the
user to monitor, control and manage the energy use. It uses the existing
powerline infrastructure for communication remotely between the power
meter and appliances - requiring NO extra cable. Its compact design and
connectivity makes it smart over other energy meters. Figure 2-1. shows
the front view of the LeadSolar Link Superior.
