A quick look
Utility branded smart home application connected to smart meters and invoicing
Our Mission
Test E.On branded smart home proposition with real customers using OEM devices.
Our Approach
We identified a 3rd party provider of OEM smart plugs etc. and integrated the communication protocols to test with an initial application. We built an MVP version of the application to prove the pilot and deployed with first customers.
Outcomes
- Successful pilot completed with 100 test customers (smart plug, thermostat, PV module).
- Possible use for photovoltaics - production measurement.
- Smart features such as algorithmic thresholds, standby killers.
- Better UX than market-ready solutions - adding new devices via mobile application (project ran in 2016).
- Complete buildout and maintenance of infrastructure.
