Homey Energy gives you a clear, real-time overview of your home’s power consumption and generation. Quickly spot energy guzzlers, view consumption per Zone, and turn those insights into Flows to help you save energy.
How it works
You can find the Energy tile on the Devices tab in the mobile app. Here, you can instantly view the real-time energy consumption of your entire home.
When you tap a specific Zone in the Devices tab, such as the Living Room, the Energy tile updates to display data for that Zone.
Depending on which Zone you open the Energy tile from, it presents an overview of power consumption for that area, neatly organized by device and subzone.
You can tap the chart to highlight individual subzones or devices and see their energy usage. This makes it easy to identify power-hungry devices over time.
Solar panels
If you have solar panels with a connected inverter, the interface provides insight into your home’s current energy yield. Homey supports most inverters that feature an app. To ensure compatibility, you can check out the Homey App Store.
The outer ring in the main Energy interface shows your solar panel’s production compared to your home’s usage. This way, you can see at a glance whether your home is using or generating power at the moment and the relative difference between the two.
Smart meters
If you have a smart meter connected to Homey, it will appear in the overview, displaying your current energy usage. Energy consumption measured by the smart meter that cannot be linked to a specific device or Zone is grouped into an Other category, represented by the hatched area.
Worth knowing
Only devices with power-measuring capability or estimates will be included in the overview.
