(Switch requires a dedicated light: Example shown using Shelly Plus Plug S)
Do you use a dynamic tariff and want to know if electricity is currently cheap or expensive without checking your phone? The Shelly Plus Plug S offers a simple solution to indicate to everyone in the household whether the current electricity price is low or high.
Simple setup:
- Shelly App: Configure the LED ring lighting in the Shelly Plus Plug S settings. Select a color and intensity for the "On" state (cheap electricity) and a different color for the "Off" state (expensive electricity).
-
Our app settings:
- Activate "Smart Control".
- Enter the rated power of your PV system (e.g., 10 kWp = 10000 watts). If you do not have a PV system, this value is not critical.
- Use the "Price Signal" function to define a price threshold up to which electricity is considered cheap, and activate the price signal.
Smart control: In the device overview, set the selector switch to "Smart". Our app will now control the switch exclusively via the price signal, allowing you to see at any time whether electricity is cheap or expensive.
