Netatmo launches omajin, a new smart home brand
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 Survoltage, you can take part in smart load shedding challenges all year round to reduce your electricity consumption during peak times. For every successful challenge, you earn EWATT points, which you can then convert into euros and transfer directly to your bank account. If you have one or more ‘with Netatmo’ smart cable outlets, you can have them take part in the challenges automatically to maximise your rewards.
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!
