Combining alerts with automations and schedules

Alerts + automations = real magic

Standalone notifications are useful, but the real power of Leafy Energy emerges when you combine price alerts with automations and schedules.

Example 1: washing machine automation

• You configure a low-price alert for hours below € 0.20 per kWh.
• Home Assistant receives a webhook when such a window appears.
• An automation starts the washing machine if extra conditions are met (for example “daytime only”).

Example 2: smart boiler control

• A daily summary lists the cheapest three hours.
• A schedule in your home automation chooses one of those hours as a “boost” moment.
• The boiler temporarily runs harder to store extra heat.

By treating alerts not just as information but as triggers, you unlock the full potential of dynamic pricing.
