The classic “white goods hack”, formalised and automated
Many households already delay laundry to evenings. Leafy Energy allows you to automate this just enough to make it both predictable and cost-effective.
Three ways to connect
- Via smart plug: prepare the machine, then power it during cheap hours.
- Direct integration: modern appliances that expose a cloud or Wi-Fi API.
- “Delayed start” scenario: user presses start, Leafy picks the actual start time.
Practical example
- You load the washing machine and press “Leafy delayed start”.
- Leafy finds the cheapest price block in the next 12 hours.
- The machine starts automatically within that window, finishing before your chosen ready time.
In demos, this makes for a great timeline visual: bars for prices and a highlighted bar where the cycle will actually run.
