Schneider Gateway and new products for Home and Facility

Two new products out very soon and one will be less expensive. The Insight home shaves the cost by eliminating the WIFI and extra 2nd set of xanbus networking. The Insight Facility is really for a microgrid application. The Conext Gateway should have new firmware soon also.

- Insight is the cloud software (Insight, aka Conext Insight 2 ???),
- InsightMobile SE is the app portal (Cloud/WiFi/Bluetooth).
- Insight hardware - does this now basically just add Bluetooth app connectivity that is lacking in the Gateway (which is WiFi only?)
- Gateway - logging and remote monitoring - couldn't the Gateway just have Bluetooth built in instead of adding yet another device?
This seemingly circular proliferation of devices kinda reminds me of one of the all time great comic strips:Offgrid in cloudy PNW

That said, it can be really valuable to see a 24 hour graphic of a power system, and nice for some if they can do this from a smart phone.
I liked the comic.

How is it that the product press releases get issued devoid of any actual indication of what a product does specifically.
Even after reviewing their data-sheets, I still wonder what the differences are in functionality between InsightHome ( 1 port), InsiteFacility (2 ports, longer range Wifi) and Gateway (system config, Wifi, 2 ports, relay, data logger)

I think if you looked into it more you would see the need. Alot of it comes from the Utility requirements all over the world where these products are sold.
Offgrid you may need that extra little something, and these go to eleven.
