Microsoft Hohm Utility Partner SDK Overview

Utility Interface Overview

The Hohm web site empowers consumers to conserve energy and reduce their carbon footprint. Hohm enables consumers to analyze and manage their energy consumption, facilitates communication between the utility company and their customers and helps consumers keep track of home maintenance and improvement tasks.

To provide details on a consumer's energy consumption, we rely on you, our partner, to deliver information to Hohm about your customer's energy usage. This SDK details the application you must implement, including data file formats and web service methods, to integrate with Hohm.

Microsoft is committed to encouraging energy conservation and Hohm is a bold step in this direction. Together, we can ensure a greener future for everyone.
