Comparing Eisy|Home vs Eisy OpenADR

[Michaelco]

I'm getting ready to upgrade from 994i  - it looks like the OpenADR Eisy can do more than just deal with power demand requests.  Is that accurate?

• Is the Eisy Home a subset of Eisy OpenADR?  
• Can the added functionality of the OpenADR be unused until the need exists? 
• Is Eisy OpenADR only useful to allow utilities to signal power demand changes?
• Is there a comparison document/chart between the two?
• Can the EISY|Home be upgraded to include OpenADR at a later date?

Not sure I would trust our utility to control our solar generation and power storage, but could see allowing the connection once there is evidence they are doing it well.

Appreciate any help and insights 🙂

@Michaelco,

Unless your utility provider told you that you need an OpenADR VEN, you do not need the OpenADR version.

With kind regards,
