Introduction to Your EAGLE™
Congratulations on getting an EAGLE™, the most versatile link to your smart meter
energy information. This device is a compact gateway that connects directly to the
smart meter using ZigBee wireless. It reads the meter in real time, and streams the
data to your home network. You can also direct the data to the internet to take
advantage of the many Cloud Services available.
Your EAGLE™helps you track the energy consumption of your home –whether you
are home or not. This will help you take control of your usage, and allow you to save
energy and lower your utility bills.
It’s easy to get started: just plug in your EAGLE™ and log into rainforestcloud.com with
your web browser. Your EAGLE™has a built-in web server that provides a simple
Web Viewer that you can use to see your smart meter data. Any device, including your
smartphone or tablet, that has a web browser can be used to view your data from
anywhere that you have internet access. It is also possible to see your smart meter
energy data without going through the internet. If you are connected to the same router
as your EAGLE™, you can connect directly to it and use its Web Viewer.
In addition to the Web Viewer, there is also a free EnergyVUE app available on iTunes
and Google Play that will let you see your smart meter energy data directly on your iOS
and Android devices.
Your EAGLE™can also connect you to an online Cloud Service. There are quite a
number of Cloud Services available, providing all sorts of detailed data analysis,
attractive graphics, and helpful household suggestions. There are also opportunities for
social networking and even ways to earn money and merchandise.
Your EAGLE™has been designed to talk to all of these Cloud Services. It is an open
system that uses industry standard communication protocols, and is not tied to any
particular service.
To make things easy, a menu of compatible Cloud Services is provided to enable you to
connect to the service of your choice with just a few mouse clicks.
