Energy Hub subscriptions

To use Energy Hub, you must subscribe to a feature plan, which determines the available features. There are two subscription tiers: Essential and Advanced. Subscriptions can be for one or three years.

The subscription price is based on the number of devices connected to your Energy Hub system. The cost per device varies by plan type and subscription term. Generally, plans with more features cost more per device, and shorter terms have higher costs than longer terms.

TIP: To avoid delays, purchase your subscription ahead of commissioning. You can buy it anytime through the Energy Hub web app using a credit card.

NOTE: Only one feature plan can be active at any time for your Energy Hub system. You can combine add-on features with a plan, but you cannot combine different feature plans.

A device credit is a license to connect a supported device or piece of equipment to Energy Hub. You specify the number of device credits you want when you buy a new subscription. For existing subscriptions, you can add additional device credits at any time.

NOTE: Device credits can only be purchased in increments of 1. Fractional credits must be rounded up to the next whole number. For example, for a device credit requirement of 12.25 credits, you need to purchase 13 credits.

The following table shows the number of credits required for different device types:

You need at least one device credit to buy an Energy Hub feature plan subscription. There is no set limit on the number of devices in an organization, but system performance for data displays and dashboards may vary based on the amount of data being loaded. There is no set limit on the number of users in an organization.

The DaaS feature plan and add-on provide access to the Energy Hub data application programming interface (API). The DaaS feature plan allows data access via the API, but not through the Energy Hub web and mobile applications. With the DaaS feature plan, the web application can only be used for system configuration. The DaaS add-on can be added to a regular feature plan, granting data access to the API along with access to the web and mobile apps.

You can buy subscriptions or additional device credits online through the Energy Hub web application. Buying online is easy and your new or changed subscription is available immediately.
Use the online method for buying subscriptions if you can use a credit card to pay for the subscription, and if you prefer ordering online.

NOTES:
  • Subscriptions purchased online automatically renew at the end of the subscription term. You can cancel the automatic renewal through the Energy Hub web application.
  • To manage and renew your subscriptions, you need to provide some company information in your Schneider Electric ID profile. Please check the My Company section of your profile and update the information if necessary. For instructions on how to edit your Schneider Electric ID, see To edit the Schneider Electric ID profile.

You can purchase subscriptions or additional device credits offline by using the Energy Hub web application to generate order details. Then, contact your Schneider Electric sales representative or an authorized distributor with those details. After your order is processed, you will receive an email with an activation code for your subscription. Use this code to activate your subscription in the Energy Hub web application.

Use the offline method for buying subscriptions if you cannot use a credit card to pay for the subscription, or if you prefer to order through a Schneider Electric sales representative or an authorized distributor.

NOTE: You must manually renew offline subscriptions. You can transition to an online subscription with automatic renewal by renewing an offline subscription online at the end of the subscription term.

To find a Schneider Electric distributor, see Find a distributor on the Schneider Electric website.

Adding device credits to an offline subscription

When you add device credits to an offline subscription, these credits have their own renewal date based on the date when the credits were added. This renewal date is independent of the original feature plan renewal date. You must renew additional device credits before they expire. This is different from online subscriptions, where additional device credits are automatically renewed as part of the feature plan renewal. If device credits expire, they can no longer be used for devices in your Energy Hub system. Energy Hub will inform you if you do not have enough device credits and remind you to add additional credits.

You can find the subscription details for your organization in your Energy Hub system, in Setup > Subscription.
