Hardware Overview
InteliSockets InteliSockets are the basic building block of an Ibis System, gathering data on energy use for each monitored device, providing control over device power, and alerting the system to unanticipated loss of power.
InteliSockets sit between a device’s power cord and the wall outlet, and monitor energy usage every 15 seconds. The sockets use a highly secure ZigBee-‐based wireless network to communicate and do not interfere with Wi-‐Fi networks. InteliSockets can be configured to operate on any of 16 ZigBee channels, and each network is identified by a locally-‐unique 16-‐bit network ID, preventing co-‐located systems from interfering with each other.
InteliSockets are built to fit most commercial applications, and support key voltage and amperage combinations as shown in the table below.

An InteliSocket can be in either an on or off state, with its LED displaying the current state. A green LED means the InteliSocket is on and devices plugged into it will receive power. A red LED means the InteliSocket is off and devices plugged into it won’t receive power.
The state of an InteliSocket can be controlled remotely through a control panel on ibis.io or by setting schedules for the InteliSocket. The InteliSocket’s state can also be manually toggled using the button on its side.

InteliGateways The Ibis InteliGateway is the central connection point between the InteliSockets and the InteliNetwork. As the InteliSocket mesh network reports energy usage data on devices, the InteliGateway collects all of the reports and passes them along to the InteliNetwork in real time. The InteliGateway also takes commands from the InteliNetwork for powering devices up/down, passing the commands to the correct InteliSockets and then confirming the response to the InteliNetwork.
InteliGateways send data to the InteliNetwork via Ethernet and plug into standard 110V/15A wall outlets. In the case of a network outage, the InteliGateway can cache Plug Load data until network connectivity is restored. The amount of data that can be cached depends on the number of InteliSockets installed. For a system of 50 InteliSockets, the gateway can cache data for 8 hours.
The table below shows the current versions of InteliGateways.

A gateway’s MAC address is located on its underside, and can be used to ID the gateway. On the top of a gateway is a light that shows whether the gateway has connected to the InteliNetwork (green if connected, red if not). A small grey button on the side of the side of the gateway can be used to restart the gateway.
