Homey has introduced a new feature enabling users to manage their smart home devices based on real-time electricity pricing. This innovation allows particularly high-energy-consuming devices to operate when electricity is cheaper, thus lowering energy costs. The feature requires a dynamic electricity tariff to work effectively.
**Key Highlights:**
– Introduced in the latest Homey Energy tab.
– Supports upcoming dynamic electricity rates to automate actions like scheduling EV charging or device shutdown during expensive periods.
– Works with Homey Pro v12.4.0 and Homey app v9.2.0.
– Users can enter electricity contract prices for cost insights; however, price inputs for electricity sold back to the grid are not yet supported.
– Enhanced automation capabilities with future updates planned for dynamic pricing.
