Ahead of time-of-use energy rates and the advent of residential energy storage options, smart thermostats paired with energy storage present a new opportunity for enhanced customer savings.

In addition, smart thermostats from Zen Ecosystems can be paired with the storage options to provide customers with greater control over their energy usage. You can read more about how these two technologies can complement each other here.
