Safety Noce
It is important to observe some simple
safety precauons when using this product.
Please read this important informaon before
connuing. Safe operaon of the Ensemble is
impaired if used in a manner not specified by
the manufacturer.
Do not fit rechargeable baeries.
Keep the Ensemble away from water and
other liquids. Clean only with a dry, so cloth.
Do not immerse in water or other liquids.
Please contact the helpline number if any
components appear damaged or faulty,
details of which are at the back of this manual.
For use in dry indoor environments only.
The Ensemble is designed so that it can
be easily installed. It is not necessary to
connect or disconnect any cabling. You can do
the installaon yourself but if you are unsure,
then do not take any risks and consult a
qualified electrician.
When fing the Sensor, if the cables
going into your electricity meter look perished
(cracked, burned or you can see bare copper)
visible will help you to reduce your CO₂ output
and save money by giving you real-me, visual
feedback on your power consumpon (if you
switch your kele on you will see what we
mean!). It also helps you to set targets and
track whether you are using more or less than
your daily allowance.
Please bear in mind that the Ensemble is not a
billing meter, so do not use this as a reference
point for how much your bill will be.
The next few pages will tell you how to install
and get the best out of your Ensemble system.

Ensemble Installed
The Ensemble enables you to see how much
electricity your house is consuming. The
Sensor and Transmier measure the
consumpon at your meter and transmits it to
the Display wirelessly. The Smart Plugs
measure the consumpon of individual
appliances and also transmit this to the Display
wirelessly. As well as seeing your consumpon
on your Display, you can also view your
consumpon history and control appliances
online with an addional Web Pack.

To power the Display.
Ensemble Display
The Display (receiver) will provide you with all
the informaon you need to know about your
electricity usage (including broken down to
appliance level). It also gives you control over
appliances. It receives a wireless signal from the
Transmier unit and is mains powered.
Smart Plug
These are referred to as ‘Plugbug’ on the Display.
These measure the energy consumpon of
whatever appliance is plugged into them and also
allows you to control the appliance (ON/OFF)
manually and remotely from the Display.
Transmier
The Transmier unit will sit next to your exisng
electricity meter. Along with the Sensor, it
measures the consumpon of your enre house
and transmits this informaon to the Display.

What’s in the Box

What Your Display Shows You
Your Display has four main elements as
described below.
Speedometer
The Speedometer gives an up to date graphical
view of the amount of electricity you are using
in your house. In normal usage, the
Speedometer shows power (kW) up to 22kW
and will update every three seconds.
Here are what the segments represent:

TV
3kW
Kele
6kW
Kele &
power shower 10kW
Kele, shower,
space heater
22kW
Max
The numbers in the middle of the
Speedometer tell you the exact value in energy
terms (kW), in cost terms (£/h) or in CO₂ (kg
CO₂/h)
Milometer: Daily Usage
The Milometer shows how much electricity
you have used in kWh, CO₂ or £ for today, each
of the last seven days or the last four weeks.
Individual Appliances:
The boom part of the Display shows you up
to date data on how much electricity up to six
individual appliances are using at that point in
me. You can also switch them on and off
from the Display if you wish. When your
Speedometer is reading high you can glance at
the Display to see if one of these appliances is
on, or check as you leave your house or go to
bed to see if you have inadvertently le
anything on.

Fuel Tanks:
This funcon will help you to keep track of
your expenditure. To do this you need to
enter your budget as described in the sengs
part of this manual.
The fuel tank works like a fuel gauge of a car.
Every night your fuel tank is filled up with your
daily allowance. Over the course of the day
your tank will empty.
The outer fuel tank shows how much
electricity you have used.
The inner fuel tank shows your target
consumpon (in a similar way to a
“pacemaker” in a long distance race).
At first the target fuel tank empes at a steady
rate throughout the day. As it learns your
paern of electricity usage, it adjusts this
steady rate to one that matches your usage
paern. For example, it will remember that
you do not use much electricity over night and
take account of this, and adapts to the
different paerns for each day of the week.
You are therefore able to compare your daily
consumpon with your target.
You can tell at a glance if you are on track to
use your target amount from these symbols:
It is predicted that you will use less
than your target amount.
It is predicted that you are on track to
use your target amount.
It is predicted that you will use more
than your target amount.

you choose. For further informaon on
this service please see the ‘Online
Services’ secon on page 19.
You can have up to six Smart Plugs paired to
your Ensemble Display. The Smart Plugs send
informaon to the Display on specific
appliances so you can see their individual
consumpon. You can also communicate with
the Smart Plugs via the Display to switch them
on or off, which gives you control over any
appliance plugged into a Smart Plug.
The Smart Plugs provided with your Ensemble
are already paired (ready to talk) to the
Display; simply plug the provided Smart Plugs
into individual sockets and plug in the
appliance you want to monitor. Your Display
can communicate with up to 6 Smart Plugs. To
purchase addional units, please contact your
supplier.

Frequently Asked Quesons
Here are the answers to some popular
quesons, but should you require any further
informaon please do contact us (see page 24
for details).
Q. How does the Ensemble work?
A. Your Ensemble has a Sensor which is fied
around the cable connecng your meter with
your fuse box or consumer unit. The Sensor
measures the amount of electrical current
passing through the cable and the Transmier
sends this informaon wirelessly to your
Display in real me, providing you with an
indicaon of your energy consumpon.
Q. How far does the device transmit?
A. The Ensemble is designed to operate in a
home environment over a range of 30 meters
with two walls in between the Transmier and
Display unit. The 868MHz range is well suited
• Range – Try moving the Display to a closer
locaon to the Transmier (see previous
queson).
• Metal objects close to the Display or
Transmier – The devices cannot
communicate through metal. Try moving
the units away from any metal objects.
• Interference – Some household devices
can interfere with the Ensemble devices
(light dimmers, hair dryers, Heang
thermostats, etc). Try and locate the
source of interference and either isolate
it or move the Ensemble away from the
source.
Q. Why is the symbol flashing?
A. The communicaon symbol will flash if:
• The Display and Transmier are unable
to communicate (see above).
for in-home use. This can cover three floors,
and is also well suited to properes where
meters are outside the main building.
Q. Why will my Display and
Transmier not communicate?
A. There are three reasons why the units will
have problems communicang:
• The Display is receiving data from two
sources simultaneously. This can be solved by
pairing the Display with the Transmier again.
This will eliminate the other Transmier.
Q. Why is the baery symbol flashing?
A. The baeries provided should last for at
least one year. Toward the end of their life the
baery symbol will flash to let you know to
replace them. Make sure you use Alkaline AA
baeries (LR6). Do not use rechargeable
baeries.
Q. Why is the internet comms
symbol flashing?
A. This symbol will flash if:
• You do not have a Bridge connected to
your system.
If you do have a Bridge:
• The outer rings will flash if the Display
cannot talk to your Bridge – so try
moving them closer.
• The inner dot will flash if you do not have
a connecon to the internet.
• Try checking that the ethernet cable is
connected.
Q. How do I reset the Display (clear the data
and start again)?
A. There are two opons for reseng the
Display. You can either erase the memory or
reset the network.
For either opon, first unplug the Display's
power cable. Then press and hold the le and
right buons while reinserng the power
cable.
The Display will first ask if you want to erase
the memory, ‘RSR?’. Select ‘Y’ (le buon) to
erase the memory, or ‘N’ (right buon) to keep
the data. Next the Display will ask ‘N/W?’. If
you want to unpair all connected devices
(Smart Plug, Transmier and Bridge if you have
a Web Pack) select ‘Y’, or ’N’ to keep them
paired. Finally the Display will ask if it should
be a Master (MST) or a Slave (SLV). Select MST
using the le buon. The Display will then ask
you to reconfirm the date and me.
If you chose to reset N/W, you will have to pair
the Sensor, Bridge and Smart Plugs again, one
by one.
Reseng the network is what you'll have to do
in the very rare event that two neighbouring
Ensemble systems have chosen the same
network ID.
Q. What do the Smart Plug columns show me?
A. The Smart Plug columns on the Display light
up from the boom on the following scale:
1001W-3680W Top Segment
251W-1000W
26W-250W
5W-25W Boom Segment
Q. How much electricity does the Ensemble
Display use?
A. The Display uses less than 0.35 wa hours
(or approximately €0.07) a month to run (tariff
dependent) - that's less than making a single
slice of toast!
Q. Why does the Display show a different
reading to my electricity bill?
A. The Ensemble system is a good indicator of
your approximate electricity consumpon, but
it is only intended as a guide. The Sensor does
not communicate with your meter directly and
will not send your readings to your supplier.
If your supplier asks for a reading, or if you are
checking your bills, always look at the readings
on your meter (NOT your Ensemble Display or
website) as these will connue to be used for
billing purposes.
Q. Where do I find my tariff informaon?
A. You can find tariff informaon on your
electricity bill. If not, you will need to contact
you energy supplier.
Q. What target consumpon should I set?
A. The target consumpon is best set by
working out your daily average from your most
recent electricity bill.
You could also use this rough guide to what the
average household uses:
• Single person – 5kWh/day
• A Couple – 10kWh/day
• A family of four – 16kWh/day.
Please note that the Ensemble system only
acts as a guide. It does not communicate
directly with your meter and cannot be used to
provide meter readings to your supplier.
