SEMS - Smart Energy Management System
The Inergy Systems Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) is an automation system that focuses on energy management and control, primarily for large loads such as HVAC systems, water heating, pool pumps, etc. With advanced connectivity features and energy management protocols, the SEMS is designed to optimize energy use, reduce costs, and integrate seamlessly with modern energy solutions. Additionally, SEMS allows for load control based on customized hourly demand profiles, enabling precise control over energy usage and cost optimization.
Key Features
- Real-time Energy Control: The SEMS system synchronizes device operation in real-time, allowing energy to be used efficiently and at times when electricity costs are lower or renewable energy generation is high.
- Customized Hourly Demand Profiles: SEMS allows users to create custom demand profiles to control energy loads based on operational requirements and energy pricing, reducing demand charges and optimizing cost-efficiency.
- Z-Wave and Zigbee Integration: SEMS connects to energy monitoring and control devices via Z-Wave, a low-power, secure, and reliable mesh networking technology. It can also connect directly to utility meters using Zigbee Smart Energy for seamless installation.
- Optimized HVAC Control: The SEMS is primarily designed for controlling HVAC systems, ensuring energy is used steadily and avoiding unnecessary peaks in demand.

Watts-On Energy Meter
If a utility meter with Zigbee is not available, the SEMS can be connected to the WattsOn-Mark II Precision Energy Meter manufactured by Elkor Technologies Inc. This provides accurate energy monitoring for systems where Zigbee Smart Energy is not available.
Installation Notes
- Typical installation is in the attic or service closet near the air handler.
- Use in series with a 120 VAC Plug/Receptacle supplying power to the air handler.
- Ensure that all safety instructions regarding RF exposure are followed, maintaining a minimum of 20cm between the equipment and your body.
Regulatory Compliance
SEMS complies with FCC regulations under Model: IH40, FCC ID: 2A93L-SEMS. The system also complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules, operating under the condition that it does not cause harmful interference and must accept any interference received.
