The Basis Smart Panel allows unprecedented control of individual appliances, but how does this work when appliances share a circuit?
When your Basis Smart Panel is installed by a Basis Certified Electrician, collaborating with them on your wiring plan is crucial. This will help ensure that any appliances you wish to monitor and control individually have dedicated circuits on the panel. Where you have wired multiple appliances on a single circuit, you will not be able to differentiate between them when it comes to switching them in and out of standby or analysing energy usage.
If you have purchased a 12-Circuit or 16-Circuit Generation 1 panel, and you find that you have more appliances you would like to individually control, please speak to your electrician about upgrading and adding another 4 circuits.
