Smart home energy
Smart home energy that runs itself
Your charger, solar, battery and tariff should work as one system — quietly using the cheapest, cleanest power available. We set up the controls and automation so you don't have to think about it.
What's included
- Whole-home energy monitoring so you can see where power goes
- Smart-tariff integration (Octopus, OVO and similar time-of-use tariffs)
- Automated charging that prioritises solar surplus or off-peak rates
- Load management across EV, hot water and high-demand circuits
- App control and scenes for charging, heating and generation
- Setup, testing and a plain-English handover
Most homes end up with an EV charger, some solar, maybe a battery and a smart tariff — all bought separately, none of them really talking to each other. Smart home energy is the layer that ties them together so the whole system pulls in the same direction.
The goal is simple: use the cheapest, cleanest power available at any moment, automatically, and give you a clear picture of where your energy goes.
See it, then save on it
We start with whole-home monitoring so you can actually see your consumption — which circuits cost you most, when your peaks are, and how much of your solar you’re using yourself. You can’t manage what you can’t measure.
Automation that does the thinking
With a time-of-use tariff, your EV can hold off until the cheapest overnight half-hours, your battery can fill when power is greenest, and surplus solar can be pushed to the car or hot water instead of being exported for pennies. We build these automations around your routine so it all happens in the background.
Works with what you’ve got
We’d rather integrate your existing charger, inverter and battery than sell you a clean sweep. Where something genuinely can’t talk to the rest, we’ll tell you plainly and suggest the smallest change that unlocks the biggest benefit.

Handover
We walk you through the app, show you the savings, and leave it running on autopilot.
Frequently asked questions
What does smart home energy actually do for me?
It makes your kit cooperate. The car waits for cheap overnight power or solar surplus, the battery charges when electricity is cheapest, and you can see exactly where your energy and money are going — automatically.
Do I need a special tariff?
A time-of-use tariff is where the biggest savings come from. We integrate tariffs like Octopus Intelligent so charging and battery use shift to the cheapest, greenest half-hours without you lifting a finger.
Can you work with kit I already have?
Usually, yes. We'll review your existing charger, inverter and battery and integrate what we can, rather than insisting you rip everything out and start again.
Is it complicated to use?
It shouldn't be. We set the automation so the system makes the right decisions on its own — the app is there if you want it, not something you have to babysit.
