With the Smart Home applications, consumers become energy managers
With the right control unit, the energy consumption can be controlled but also regulated actively.The controllers of the Smart Home solutions allow the creation of accurate energy consumption statistics for all the connected appliances and discover energy saving potentials.What’s more:With the right control unit, over time consumers learn how to develop, test and implement personalized strategies for the energy management.
“An active energy management can do more than just disconnect energy guzzlers as the standby devices from the grid when they are not necessary”, says Hartwig Weidacher, CEO of myGEKKO | Ekon GmbH.Who has a photovoltaic system for example can optimize his energy consumption, says the Smart Home expert.Concretely:when a photovoltaic plant or another electrical power unit is connected to a building automation system, it is possible to monitor the energy production and consumption very precisely.This way the user always knows when the energy production exceeds the energy consumption.the dishwasher, the dryer, the washing machine and all other appliances are switched on exactly in these time frames in order to use the available free energy.
Energiemanagement:everything under control
The control unit – for example the myGEKKO Slide – provides all relevant data.The only requirement:look at the display from time to time.“An effective and active energy management is based on the perfect balancing between energy consumption and energy production.The energy consumption can be controlled at any time with the control unit and adapted to the energy demand”, says the Smart Home expert Hartwig Weidacher.Furthermore,the user friendly handling gives the expert users the possibility to define, test and implement individual energy saving strategies.For example using the energy surplus of the PV system for the charging of the electric car or the e-bike.The effectiveness of these strategies can be quickly checked and optimized with the data on the display.
