Reality extended its partnership with E.On SE, one of the world’s largest investor-owned power and gas companies, to deliver smart home services across Europe and help residences achieve more comfort, security, and energy efficiency.
The expanded partnership allows E.On SE to license GreenWave technology, including hardware, software and GreenWave hosting and cloud services, and gain a smart home infrastructure to drive development of a wide range of consumer-facing energy management applications including solar energy, home automation and connected lighting.
The management capabilities in the GreenWave platform, such as self-healing, help to reduce costs to deploy and manage the new services, improving customer adoption and increasing profitability.
The two companies will work jointly with E.On’s regional units across Europe for their local market knowledge and expertise to develop and test commercial off-the-shelf products, which will be deployed and managed in the home through the E.On branded Smart Home platform.
