Why Leafy Energy and Home Assistant are a perfect match
Leafy Energy is built with home automation enthusiasts in mind. The Home Assistant integration turns dynamic energy prices, charging sessions, and home batteries into first-class entities inside your smart home.
What the integration provides
- Sensors for current and upcoming power prices.
- Sensors for consumption, export, and battery state of charge.
- Services to start, pause, and limit charging sessions.
- Events for price thresholds, peak load, and exceptional grid situations.
Typical use cases
- Automatically starting washing machines and dryers during cheap hours.
- Charging home batteries when prices are low and discharging during high-price peaks.
- Controlling heat pumps, boilers, and AC based on grid load.
In demo setups, Leafy Energy shows how a utility can become the energy conductor of the entire smart home, rather than just sending invoices.
