Using Leafy Energy without a smart meter: is it possible?

Leafy Energy without a smart meter

Yes, you can use Leafy Energy even if you don’t have a smart meter yet. The experience is different, but you can still benefit from insights and dynamic pricing.

What works without a smart meter?

• You get full visibility of hourly market prices, even without your own hourly consumption data.
• You see estimated monthly usage and costs based on profiles.
• You can set price alerts and roughly adapt your behaviour (for example “charge more in the afternoon”).

What do you miss?

• No precise hourly charts of your personal usage.
• No fine-grained automations based on measured load (only on price events).
• Less accurate feedback on the question “did I really save money?”.

Think of Leafy Energy without a smart meter as a preview mode: you get to know the dynamic market and experiment with behaviour, and later you can upgrade to full smart-meter integration.
