Ready to reimagine home energy use?

Help lower energy costs

The app empowers you to make informed decisions about your energy usage, helping you find ways to lower energy costs.

Smarter energy decisions

The app can help you to take control of your energy usage and make smarter, more sustainable choices.

Optimise your solar energy

The app optimises solar energy use, promoting efficiency, and encouraging eco-conscious decisions.

The highlights

No need to plan ahead
Just plug in your EV, or smart devices and the app will take care of the rest.

Automated scheduling
The app will autonomously schedule the use of your devices to make the most of off-peak periods or renewable energy.

Notifications
Get notified through the app when devices are scheduled to
be used, e.g. when an EV charge starts and finishes.

Take control
If you need to, you can simply change schedule parameters at
any point in time via the app.

Participate and earn
The app makes it easy to participate in Demand Response events,
where you can contribute to grid stability and earn bill credits.

Understand
The app shows you estimated costs, savings, CO2 footprint and the total energy
consumption for your household and for each individual device.
