What is a HEMS (home energy management system)?

Home Energy Management Systems provide a comprehensive solution for managing various energy aspects of a home, including generation, storage, and consumption. 


HEMS is designed to integrate with a wide variety of devices such as solar panels, battery storage systems, smart appliances, lighting, heating, and cooling systems.


It aims to analyse and optimize energy usage patterns to reduce energy costs and improve efficiency, adjusting the operation of connected devices based on real-time data, grid demand, energy prices, and user preferences. Additionally, HEMS usually comes with detailed monitoring capabilities, providing real-time data and historical insights into energy consumption and generation.
