How much electricity do you use in a day? In a week? Or in a month? Don’t you know? You are not alone, because very few people have an answer to this question. The reason for this is simple: we pay for electricity throughout the year on account in the form of a consumption estimate. Only at the end of the year is there the joy of the credit note or the rude awakening when a high additional payment threatens.

But we have the solution: from now on, you can keep an eye on your electricity costs just as easily as your internet or mobile phone bill. With the powerfox poweropti PA201902, you can equip your digital meter with a smart readout adapter to digitally record and analyse your electricity consumption data and keep an eye on it in real time.

The smart device is installed on your digital meter via Plug & Play, so that no intervention in the electrical system is necessary. The powerfox poweropti PA201902 reads the data and transmits it to the powerfox app via Wi-Fi. This means you always have an overview of your power consumption – in real time. Thanks to the graphical processing via a bar chart, consumption can be analysed over different periods of time. The powerfox app also shows you whether your electricity consumption is within your instalment payment or has already been exceeded.

The best thing is that the powerfox poweropti PA201902 offers you an API interface for your smart home system so that you can create smart automations in conjunction with a PV system, for example. If a lot of electricity is produced and fed into the power grid, electrical consumers can be switched on automatically.

TIP: The power readout adapter is already fully integrated into the SmartThings system.
