Control devices based on energy spot prices

What do I need for it? How much do I save?

You need a Cozify smart hub with a Premium subscription, an hourly spot-price based energy deal (influence on your energy bill), and a Cozify supported and connected device to you Cozify hub, e.g. (esim. geo thermal heating unit / air heat pump / electric radiator). In addition to choosing ON/OFF-devices and relay controlled devices for the rule, you can also choose scenes that are able to set your devices to more optimized settings and states than just ON/OFF. You are also able to receive notifications on each day's most cheap and most costly spot-hours.

The rule automatically turns on devices/scenes for a desired duration of time for the cheapest spot-hours of the day. You can easily control the rule in Cozify WEB UI without programming skills.

Optimizing your energy usage to the cheapest spot-price hours enables you to gain possibly signicant savings in your monthly energy bill.

How and which devices can I control with this?

In addition to a Cozify smart hub you'll need a Cozify support device connection that enables you to add the device to the rule. Depending on the device, the devices can be controlled as follows:

How do I get this to my home?

First check from the device manual / manufacturer what is the best method to control your device regarding the exhange electricity, and ensure your device's compatibility with your Cozify hub (ION/HUB/ZEN/DIN).
