(Example of a Shelly Plus Plug S)
It is important to use energy efficiently today. It becomes particularly exciting if you only want to switch on devices such as an additional electrical heating if you have excess energy. Here the classic surplus control comes into play.
As an example, we take an infrared heating with 800 watts of power. The challenge is to control this heating in such a way that it only runs if the energy is excess of energy. You can decide for yourself whether the switch should shine or not - this can be easily set in the Shelly app.
To integrate the whole thing in our app, you have to capture the switch with the 'Smart Saling' function and store the nominal output of 800 watts.
If you provide the switch in the device overview of "Smart", our app takes over the control: the heating switches on as soon as the nominal power in the switch plus the specified ECO offset is reached in the meter. The shutdown takes place automatically when the ECO offset is undercut or electricity is obtained from the network.
This smart control not only helps you save energy costs, but also to protect resources and live more sustainably. A small step towards smart energy use with great effect for your home and the environment.
