Because our solution is open sourced and Internet based we can provide Energy Services companies with support for web portals, smart devices, mobile messaging and an ecosystem for developing consumer and enterprise based energy applications.

TigaNet's suite of App Store services allows consumers to take advantage of third party energy management applications and services. In addition it provides an efficient development environment for custom energy management software applications. TigaNET manages the device and data security, third party access permissions as well as service profile and subscription information. This enables the following features:

  • Mobile Wireless Device Support - Facility, Asset and Energy Management Service Providers can develop applications that take advantage of our infrastructure and messaging services to deliver applications to smart phones, PDAs, or iPhones. Our initial iPhone application is a facilities service management app that allows HVAC technicians to monitor and control commercial HVAC and heat pump systems for building systems.

  • Web Portal Widgets - Consumers can link energy related information widgets to personal web portals making Energy usage data, status of premises and access to premises controls available on third party web portals (e.g. Yahoo, Google, AOL).

  • Service portability - TigaNet enables consumers to choose, change, or modify access to their energy related information and controls in a multi vendor exchange.

  • Utility Meter Data Interface - Utilities and energy consumers can share common authentication protocol using unique UserID and Password access to real-time utility meter information (meter usage, pricing, etc.) enabling the integration of real-time advanced utility meter information into existing home and building automation systems. This eliminates the need for deployment of a utility controlled Home Area Network (HAN) and removes all risk of Smart Grid connecting directly to the Internet at the customer premises.
