Smart home and energy control
Smart home integration with a PV installation and battery storage. We control heating, lighting and appliances so they run when your own cheap power is available. Higher self-consumption, smaller bills.
Let the house decide when to use power
A smart home for energy is automation that starts devices (the heat pump, the EV charger, the water heater, the washing machine) at the moment there is surplus solar generation or a low electricity price, which typically lifts self-consumption from 30% to 75%. Instead of exporting surplus for a fraction of its value, you use it on site. In the evening, on a night tariff or at a low wholesale price, the system moves consumption to where it costs least. We connect the common ecosystems (Home Assistant, hybrid inverters, heating controllers) and configure the rules around your load profile. The result: higher self-consumption, lower bills and comfort without watching the meter every day.
Why it is worth it
Higher self-consumption
Devices switch on during hours of surplus generation. You use your own cheap power instead of exporting it for a fraction of its value.
Heating driven by energy
The heat pump and water heater run when you have solar power or cheap night-rate electricity. Heat is stored for later.
Shifting consumption in time
Washing machine, dishwasher and EV charger start in the cheapest hours. The system picks the moment from price and generation.
Full control from the app
Generation, consumption and battery state in one place. Rules can be changed remotely, and the system also works without your involvement.
Integration of existing devices
We connect the inverter, battery, heating and equipment from different manufacturers into one ecosystem. No need to replace the whole installation.
Lower bills without sacrifice
Optimisation happens in the background. Comfort stays the same, and every kilowatt-hour goes where it is worth most.
With automation driving devices according to solar output
Manual or automatic control?
| Criterion | Smart home with automation | Manual control |
|---|---|---|
| Energy self-consumption | up to 75% | about 30% |
| Response to PV surplus | Immediate, automatic | Only when you are at home |
| Consumption in cheap hours | Planned by the system | Hard to keep track of |
| Your involvement | Minimal, it runs in the background | Watching the meter every day |
| Upfront cost | Higher (controllers, configuration) | None |
Choose Smart home with automation if:
- You have PV, storage or a heat pump and want the most from them
- You are often out during the hours of highest generation
- You want savings without daily supervision
Choose Manual control if:
- You have a small installation and simple consumption
- You are at home during the day and manage the equipment yourself
- You are not planning storage or a heat pump for now
The process
Audit and device map
We check the PV installation, the battery, the heating and the high-draw equipment. We establish which of them can be controlled and what your load profile looks like.
Automation design
We select controllers, relays and a gateway, and design the rules: what runs when, according to generation, electricity price and battery state.
Integration and configuration
We combine the devices into one system (for example Home Assistant), tie it to the inverter and battery, and configure the application and the scenarios.
Testing, tuning and care
We start the automation, watch it for several days and refine the rules for maximum self-consumption. Then continuous installation care follows: we add devices and rules as your needs change.
What does a smart home for energy cost?
| Gateway and basic automation control of 2 to 3 devices | from PLN 2,500 |
| PV and storage integration connection to a hybrid inverter | from PLN 3,500 |
| Heating control (heat pump, hot water) controllers + heating rules | from PLN 2,000 |
| Full home integration many devices and scenarios | individual quote |
Indicative prices in Polish złoty, depending on the number of devices, the brands and the state of the existing installation. Exact quote after a free audit. Some heating-related costs (for example heat pump or hot water control) may qualify for the Polish thermal-modernisation relief in single-family homes.
