Here are the key points from the article: **What is Oasis?** Oasis is a smart home energy management system that helps homeowners monitor and control their energy usage in real-time. It integrates with various devices, including solar panels, EV charging equipment, thermostats, and energy-monitoring products. **Key Features:** 1. **Smart Home Panel 2:** A circuit-level management system that can be connected to an existing electrical panel. 2. **Whole-home backup solution:** Integrates with the EcoFlow Ocean Pro system, which is a grid-tied option for whole-home backup. 3. **Integration with third-party devices:** Works with Matter-compatible devices, including Ecobee and Nest thermostats, energy-monitoring products like smart plugs from Shelly and TP-Link. **Competitors:** The article mentions several competitors in the home energy management space, including: 1. Schneider’s Home system 2. Savant Power 3. Anker Solix 4. Generac **Challenges:** While Oasis is a promising solution, the initial cost of such systems remains a major roadblock for many people. However, if complexity can be reduced through intelligent home energy management software, it feels like a big step in the right direction. **Availability:** Oasis is currently available in the US and will be integrated with the new EcoFlow Ocean Pro system later this year.
