The NEW Alternative to Programmable Thermostats
Programmable thermostats have been around for decades and while the technology has improved, the basic value proposition has remained the same;
Programmable thermostats adjust your heating and cooling system to save energy when your home is unoccupied or when you’re asleep.
Newer versions of programmable thermostats (often referred to as “Smart Thermostats”) use color touch-screens and internet connectivity
to further “simplify” the programming experience. Some even provide voice interfaces so you can call your thermostat or use online applications
to adjust your thermostat’s settings from your PC or iPhone.
Third party research describes how programmable thermostats can save 10-25% of a building’s seasonal heating and
cooling cost simply by setting back the temperature when the house is unnocupied.
Unfortunately, programmable thermostats are not very effective for families with unpredictable schedules. And if the batteries aren’t changed,
many programmable thermostats will lose their program or be out of sync, thus resulting
in discomfort and missed energy savings.
If your home is equipped with a security system, then it already knows when you’re home, or away, or sleeping. So why should you guess about
these times in advance and spend time programming a thermostat?
You shouldn’t. There’s a better way…
"The average household spends more than $2,200 a year on energy bills - nearly half of which goes to heating and cooling. Homeowners can save
about $180 a year by properly setting their programmable thermostats and maintaining those settings."

INTUITOUS HOME ENERGY CONTROLLER
for Security Systems
(Patent Pending)
The Intuitous Home Energy Controller (ECC-HS) is an intelligent device that connects your home security panel to your heating and
cooling system. The controller overrides the thermostat and automatically enters into an energy saving setback mode when you’re
away or sleeping. No change to your existing thermostat is required. Your thermostat will continue to be used to control your comfort
level whenever you are home.
The Intuitous system is more productive than programmable thermostats because it seizes every opportunity to save energy, whether a
vacancy is planned or not. If your occupancy is somewhat unpredictable or if you’re tired of programming your schedule into a
thermostat, the Intuitous Home Energy Controller provides the perfect solution.

Security System Compatibility:
The Intuitous controller is compatible with 12Vdc security panels (such as DSC, GE, Napco, Paradox) that provide auxiliary
power and one or two switched negative 12V programmable outputs (PGM’s).
HVAC System Compatibility:
The controller is compatible with single stage gas, oil or electric furnaces and air conditioners with 24Vac control systems.
The ECC-HS is not compatible with Heat Pumps or line voltage control systems.
