When deployed in a home, Curb receives energy usage data from thousands of sensors in real-time and mines this information to provide actionable insights on energy efficiency patterns and device health. For instance, Curb M10 could predict an HVAC outage or malfunction in advance, mitigating expensive and frustrating repairs or replacements.
M10 represents the latest evolution of the Curb product line and pairs years of available Curb’s intelligent, actionable home energy data with new features focused on improving connectivity, reliability and ease-of-use.
