Mustang65 Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Well, I have been researching remote controlled electric breakers for the main electrical service box for some time now. I was originally going to go with Siemens version, but decided against it, as I could run into some local ordinance issues with the wiring of the control leads off of each breaker. I have now decided on going with Levinton's Outdoor Load Center with Smart Breakers and the Smart Breaker Data hub. Hopefully, Home Depot will follow through and deliver it this week. It looks a lot easier to install than the Siemens version and also allows for pre-wiring. The nice thing about this product is that each breaker location has each circuit's Hot and Neutral wires connected directly to it, which eliminates the need for wiring all the neutral wires to a Neutral buss. It has capability of remotely tripping the breakers monitoring the electrical usage of the entire system at this point. I do not see any API's on their website, but I did send them an email requesting API information. We will see if they answer. Maybe an ISY nodeserver down the road. I still intend on keeping the GEM/DashBox for more detailed energy information. I will keep you informed. 1
