Mapping your devices for smart consumption

Taking inventory of your devices

Your first month is the perfect moment to map your home: which devices use a lot of energy, and can you shift them to cheaper hours?

Step 1: make a list

• Electric car(s) and chargers.
• Heat pump, electric boiler, or infrared panels.
• Washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher.
• Home battery, air conditioning, and other large consumers.

Step 2: decide what you can automate

• Can you use timers or smart home flows to shift start times?
• Do devices have “eco” or “night” modes that you can use more often?
• Can you bundle tasks (like doing laundry) on days with low prices?

Other articles in this Help Center show concrete examples of flows for Home Assistant, Homey, and other systems you can combine with Leafy Energy.
