Demand Side Management

The smart hot water controller, that also acts as a hub or base for the Zigbee like Home Area Network (HAN), understand if there are solar thermal panels in the home and can divert extra hot water from the solar to say a spa pool or swimming pool instead of wasting it. Today there's an excellent article about SENZTEK's hardware in the New Zealand Herald.
