How your customers can benefit from smart relays in their homes or holiday homes

Get an overview of home appliances

The smart relay enables users to get an overview of their energy consumption. The user can control clusters of home appliances and monitor the energy consumption of each group of appliances in the house. For instance, the user can see how much energy is consumed by the freezer and refrigerator, the lights, the electric heating, the swimming pool, etc. These insights can help the user identify which appliances consume more energy and consider ways to optimize the energy consumption of these devices.

The Smart Relay 16A DIN also enables the user to turn groups of home appliances on and off, which for example means that the user can turn off groups of home appliances when going away for a while. For instance, the user can quickly and easily turn off all heating and lights when going on holiday, while other groups of appliances, such as the freezer and refrigerator, are still turned on.

Control holiday home remotely

Your customers can control their holiday homes remotely with the Smart Relay 16A DIN. This means that they no longer need to waste large amounts of electricity on heating in the house while they are away, or alternatively arrive to a cold holiday home in the winter. With the smart relay, they can turn on the heating a few hours before arriving to the holiday home, so the house is warm when they arrive.
