Runs when electricity is cheaper
Spotvolt shifts flexible consumption to the hours when the day-ahead price is lower. That matters most for appliances which do not need to run at one exact minute.
Features
Spotvolt is more than a remote socket. It moves flexible consumption to the cheaper end of the day while leaving the simple controls in your hands.
Spotvolt shifts flexible consumption to the hours when the day-ahead price is lower. That matters most for appliances which do not need to run at one exact minute.
Pick a mode you understand and hand the daily switching to the automation. You can still turn the appliance on or off yourself whenever you want.
The dashboard shows the current price, the state of the appliance and the active mode. No manual price watching and no guessing when it will switch on.
Automation modes
Different appliances need different handling. For a boiler, a charger or a heater what matters is the result, so Spotvolt offers modes you can understand without following the electricity market.
The appliance runs only while the price sits below the limit you set.
For appliances that need a certain number of running hours per day, taken at the cheapest times.
Pick a period such as overnight and Spotvolt uses the best hours inside it.
Switch the appliance yourself when you need to, and keep control outside the automation.
Spotvolt works in the background without ever taking the decision away from you. That matters in a home where the plan sometimes changes faster than the price does.
Where it helps
Spotvolt fits best where an appliance does not have to run continuously, but it does matter that the work happens at a sensible time without you watching prices each day.
