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
- Trigger on the Leafy prices device when the price level becomes "cheap".
- Optionally check if the appliance is “ready” using an extra sensor or virtual switch.
- 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.
