Connecting an in-home usage device

Connect a Smart Home Energy Device

If you're eligible, you can link your home meter to a Zigbee-certified smart energy device, helping you track and manage your energy use more easily.

 

What is Zigbee Smart Energy?

Zigbee Smart Energy (Zigbee SE) is a widely used wireless standard that lets smart home devices "talk" to your meter. It helps you:

  • See how much energy you're using
  • Manage connected appliances more efficiently
  • Reduce waste and lower your energy costs

 

How to get your device connected

Complete the details on the Request to Connect an in-home device form to request connection of your Zigbee enabled device.

 

Before you start, you'll need:

  • Your device's MAC address
  • Your device's Installation Code

(Both are usually printed on the device itself or in the manual that came with it.)

 

Before requesting a connection:

  • Make sure your device is installed within range of your meter
  • Check your device's user manual to confirm it's set up correctly and ready to connect

 

What happens next

Fill out the Connect an in-home device request form to request your connection. Our customer service team will usually get back to you within 5 business days.
