Glow Display and CAD
"Best smart home purchase I have made - it's the only bit of kit I have bought that has just worked from the start" JA
The combined Glow In Home Display (IHD) and consumer access device (CAD) for people who want a real-time view of their energy consumption with access to their data via our Bright app, APIs and MQTT. Wifi enabled and very easy to set up.
The display integrates our CAD so you can use our Bright app (download details below) to monitor your energy consumption anytime, anywhere.
Buyers must have an active Bright or Glow account when they order to meet our regulator's requirements to confirm we have permission to join the device to your meters. See Additional Information for details.
