Scenario: fully virtual demo home in Leafy Energy

A Leafy home without any real hardware

For trainings and sales demos it is not always feasible to have a fully equipped physical home. This scenario explains how a fully virtual demo home can still showcase all key Leafy Energy features convincingly.

Virtual components

• Simulated consumption profiles (base load, peaks, seasonal effects).
• Virtual solar generation and weather scenarios.
• Virtual devices: EV, battery, boiler, white goods and smart plugs.

How the simulation works

1. A script or service generates virtual measurements every minute.
2. Leafy Energy ingests these values as if they came from real sensors.
3. Automation rules respond to this virtual data (prices, pseudo-consumption).

Benefits for demos and training

• You can safely show extreme cases (negative prices, long outages) without risk.
• Demos are reproducible: the same “day” can be replayed over and over.
• New flows and blueprints can be tested thoroughly before going into real homes.

This scenario turns Leafy Energy into a learning environment: not just an energy product, but a platform to educate customers, partners, and colleagues about dynamic energy.
