EcoSwitch Pi 12A EU

Description

The EcoSwitch Pi EU can automatically switch on a device when the electricity price is lowest.

It fetches energy prices via WiFi from the internet. In the web interface you can create a schedule, which determines during which hours (and for how long) the EcoSwitch is allowed to be switched on. The EcoSwitch will then calculate a plan that suits your needs.

The EcoSwitch Pi measures the power consumption of the connected device. When you enable the option “Do not switch off when the device is still in use” the EcoSwitch will not switch off too early, for example when a washing machine is still running, it will wait until the washing program has been finished.

As an extra function, the EcoSwitch Pi is able to read out external power meters (for example a P1-meter or Shelly EM) and switch the connected device based on this data. This is a way to, for example, power a water boiler instead of feeding back solar electricity to the grid.

Advantages of the EcoSwitch
Even without reducing your energy consumption, you can save costs and reduce the emission of greenhouse gas by choosing the best moment to use electrical power. This is beneficial to the climate. On some hours of the day there is more power available from sustainable energy sources, for example solar panels and wind turbines. This results in less CO₂ emissions per kilowatt hour. If you use power during those hours, the environment will be taxed less. It also helps to prevent net congestion.

The packages includes:

• EcoSwitch Pi EU switch
• EcoSwitch application to calculate the plan
