Smart plugs and Leafy Energy: linking through Homey

Making simple devices smart with Leafy and Homey

Not every device has a native integration. With smart plugs, you can still make use of Leafy Energy prices, orchestrated by Homey.

Examples of devices on a smart plug

• Washing machine or dryer.
• Dishwasher (with a physical on/off switch).
• Electric heater or infrared panel.

Flow idea

1. Trigger on the Leafy prices device when the price level becomes "cheap".
2. Optionally check if the appliance is “ready” using an extra sensor or virtual switch.
3. Turn on the smart plug for the duration of a cycle.

Once set up, this creates a great demo showing how even older devices can join in modern dynamic energy optimisation.
