Overview
Some loads are unique. Electric vehicle (EV) chargers, air conditioners, and other electrical devices need to be managed more intelligently. The FranklinWH Smart Circuits Module, an optional aGate component, provides the ability to manage those unique devices remotely and automatically from anywhere and anytime.
Features
- Users can connect and disconnect up to three Smart Circuits via the FranklinWH app.
- Smart Circuit 1 & Smart Circuit 2: 1-pole circuit breakers can be merged into a single, 2-pole circuit as needed.
- Smart Circuit 3: Requires a 2-pole circuit breaker.
Remote Management
In the FranklinWH app, homeowners can:
- Schedule times for the circuits to automatically turn on and off. For instance, the EV charger can be set to run only from 1:00 am to 5:00 am during a low-demand, low-cost period.
- Manually turn on and off individual Smart Circuits as needed. For example, homeowners can turn on the air conditioner shortly before returning home.
