ELECTRICIAN
INTRODUCTION
Welcome! The Lumin Smart Panel (LSP) is a stand-alone product that extends the capability
of an existing circuit breaker panel (or “electrical panel”) by providing measurement and
remote control of up to twelve (12) circuits in a home or building. The function of the circuit
breaker panel remains the same and is not impacted. The LSP securely and safely transmits
real-time consumption information to the cloud via Ethernet connection or customer Wi-Fi.
The information can be accessed through a user dashboard (software) for home/building
owners. The Lumin dashboard gives customers insights into their energy consumption and
energy costs, as well as provides the user with the ability to control or automate their
energy use remotely.
"
This manual describes the installation of the LSP hardware. All information regarding access
to the user dashboard can be found in the Account Set Up Guide or by going to
https://luminsmart.com/accountsetup.
