Reservoir Announces Home Sync at Boston Climate Week
Home electrification has a surprising hero – your water heater.
In celebration of Boston Climate Week, Reservoir announces a suite of new software features at ClimaTech for the home and the grid.
We believe a smart home should be easy to manage. Reservoir Home Sync is a suite of seamless software integrations that make upgrading your hot water easier more affordable than ever.
Operate Reservoir on auto-pilot, from your phone, from your smart home control center, or even from your sink
Siri Voice Control: use simple commands like “Hey Siri, warm my shower with Reservoir” or “Hey Siri, turn Reservoir to Party Mode.”
Home Assistant: Reservoir integrates with Home Assistant to put full control in your hands as you manage a wide array of smart home devices, ranging from other sensors to your solar inverter.
Remote Control Faucets: Reservoir turns your faucets into smart devices with ultra-sensitive flow sense technology. With Remote Control Faucets, you can activate features like recirculation with a quick double-tap of your faucet.
Time-of-Use Rates: Reservoir automatically optimizes your energy use to save you money by preferring low cost off peak electric rates.
Solar Sync: automatically plan energy use to use the solar panels on your roof to heat your water.
We also believe that intelligent water heaters are the grid's next hero. Our latest demonstration with Sense—a pioneer in real-time home energy data—proves that Reservoir can do more than just save money; it can balance the grid. By automatically shifting heating to moments of peak renewable supply or away from peak demand, a fleet of Reservoirs could act as a grid-scale “thermal battery” that enables more clean energy while avoiding expensive grid investments.
Homeowners get a more responsive appliance with lower energy bills; utilities get a flexible, dispatchable load; and the climate gets a heat pump running on cleaner electrons. One piece of intelligence, three wins.
