Sample app: dynamic pricing dashboard for retail

Leafy Energy dashboard for retail

One of the most powerful demos is a retail dashboard that shows how dynamic energy prices influence a store's operational decisions.

What does the dashboard show?

• Live price per kWh with colour coding (green = cheap, red = expensive).
• Usage per zone: lighting, cooling, kitchen equipment.
• Recommendations such as “dim now” or “pre-cool now” based on Leafy Energy prices.

Architecture (concept)

• Frontend: React app using the Leafy Energy JS SDK.
• Backend: lightweight Node.js proxy to the Leafy API.
• Authentication: sandbox API key or OAuth2 client for demo tenants.

This article serves as a talking piece: use it with IT teams to explore what a real dashboard could look like in their organisation.
