name: Eaton — Plans and Pricing
description: |
  Plans, pricing tiers, and commercial-model summary for Eaton's digital and developer surface. Public pricing is largely opaque — most Brightlayer offerings and the Smart Breaker / EV Charger / Demand Response / Ambient Monitoring APIs are sold via the Brightlayer Experience Hub (https://eaton.byappdirect.com/) on subscription, with terms negotiated per-tenant rather than published. Where Eaton has made commercial structure public (e.g. Brightlayer 8.0 "tier-free" model), it is captured below.
