Power by the Hour
Summarize the energy/water usage or (solar) production per hour, day, month and year. Use dynamic tariffs.
Warning! This app might not work properly.
This app version is currently being tested, and has not yet been reviewed. It might not work as expected.
Be extra careful when installing this app.
Start and stop charging your car or smart battery based on the best 15 minute rate and your solar panel production! Get data from a Homey power/gas/water meter device, and show the usage/production per hour, per day, per month and per year. Know the monetary value and use dynamic tariffs. Know how much your Always-on appliances are using and safe hundreds of Euros per year!
This app can be used with any app or device that has a Energy or Power Meter capability, a Gas Meter capability, or a Water Meter capability.
PBTH includes a smart Battery Monitor and a Solar Forecaster that learns the unique characteristics of your solar panels over time.
It also supports Spot Pricing (Day-Ahead 15 minute prices) for energy providers from all EU countries.
