Netatmo and Somfy announce compatibility between their Smart Thermostat, Radiator Valves, and the TaHoma Smart Hub
Smart Load Shedding is an innovative and sustainable practice that lets you intelligently reduce your electricity consumption. With the aim of easing the strain on the electrical grid during peak periods, smart load shedding involves shifting the use of your electrical appliances away from peak consumption times.
Recognised as an authorised smart load shedding operator by the RTE (Réseau de Transport Électrique, or ‘Electricity Transmission Network’), Survoltage is an app that rewards you for electrical curtailment.
And what could be more fitting than using Legrand smart solutions for these load shedding activities? By connecting them to the Survoltage app, you can automatically take part in the suggested curtailment activities.
With no cost and no commitment, this initiative lets users of compatible, smart Netatmo and Legrand devices earn up to 200 euros a year by helping us stabilise the electrical grid. When you pair your devices with the Survoltage app, the app will automatically carry out load shedding, intelligently reducing electricity use at peak times without affecting your experience. You have complete control over your devices at all times and earn EWATT points which you convert into euros twice a year in April and December.
By reducing your consumption during peak demand hours, you can take advantage of better rates offered by some suppliers. A more efficient use of electricity also leads to a gradual reduction in your energy bills.
When consumption peaks, the electrical grid has to compensate for this to maintain its balance, which typically involves activating highly polluting fossil fuel power plants. By avoiding overloading the grid, we prioritise renewable energies and less polluting energy sources, which allows us to reduce our carbon footprint.
Electricity is invisible; only your electricity bill makes it tangible. Home + Control and Survoltage allow you to view your electricity consumption (by appliance, by time, in kwH and in €), identify the most energy-intensive appliances, find out the impact of your standby times, set up alerts and even assess the adequacy of your energy contract. The main benefit of this is that, on average, a household that regularly monitors their consumption can reduce their electricity bill by up to 10% (source: Enedis, based on ADEME - French Environment and Energy Management Agency - studies on smart meters).
How much electricity is consumed across the country? When are peak demand hours? What is the carbon footprint of electricity production at any given time? Survoltage updates you on the status of the electrical grid, while Home + Control helps you plan the use of your smart devices so you can consume electricity at the right time, i.e., when it's abundant and less polluting!
