A smart meter can be pretty handy. It tracks exactly how much energy you use and sends that data straight to your energy provider. You don’t even have to submit your meter readings anymore. But if you want to save money and electricity, you need to know where, when, and how much electricity you use. With the Chargee smart meter app, you get insight into everything electricity-related in and around your home. You can see exactly how much you’re using and where you can save. This way, you’re not only putting your smart meter to work but also rolling up your own sleeves. Let’s get started!
How does the Chargee smart meter app work?
With the Chargee app, you take control of your electricity. The Chargee smart meter app works together with the smart meter in your home. Sparky, our own P1 dongle, pulls the information about your electricity use from your smart meter. Once you’ve connected Sparky to the Chargee app, you can see in real-time how much energy you’re using and feeding back. You can also connect your inverter to the app to monitor your solar energy production. The app also shows you when your biggest energy users are active and which days have the highest usage. You can track your expected solar output and the dynamic energy prices, so you can adjust your usage smartly. No more surprises with high electricity bills. Use the insights from the Chargee app to make smart choices.
Want to use the app? Follow these steps:
- Download the Chargee app on your smartphone via the Apple App Store of Google Play Store.
- Create an account in the Chargee app
- Connect Sparky by plugging it into your smart meter and linking it to your home’s Wi-Fi
- Start checking your usage right away. The app shows your live energy usage, or your usage over the past week, month, or year
