(Switch needs its own lamp: here using the example of Shelly Plus Plug S)
You use a dynamic electricity tariff and want to know whether the electricity is cheap or expensive without having your cell phone at hand? The Shelly Plus Plug S offers you a simple solution to display everyone in the household whether the electricity price is currently low or high.
Simple furnishings:
- Shelly App: Set the lighting of the LED ring in the shelly plus plug's settings. Choose a color and intensity for the "AN" state (cheap electricity) and a different color for "out" (expensive electricity).
-
Our app settings:
- Activate "smart taxes".
- Enter the nominal output of your photovoltaic system (e.g. 10 kWp = 10000 watts). Without a PV system, this value is not decisive.
- Use the "PreisSignal" function to determine a price threshold up to which the electricity is considered favorable and activate the price signal.
Smart control: In the device overview, put the selection switch on "Smart". Our app now only controls the switch via the price signal so that you can see whether the electricity is cheap or expensive at any time.
