This article explains the different tiles and values displayed in the Homey Energy tab, helping you understand your energy consumption and production at a glance.
What do the values above the home represent?
Grid represents the net value of your home’s energy usage measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Solar Panels reflect the total energy generated in kWh by all the solar panels in your home.
Home refers to your home’s energy consumption in kWh, which Homey calculates based on information from your smart meter and other devices connected to Homey.
What do the tiles located below the home mean?
The Electricity tile shows your current energy consumption in watts, while the Solar Panel tile indicates the energy production from your solar panels, which is also measured in watts.
The Electric Vehicle tile displays your car’s battery level and indicates whether it’s plugged in and charging. Similarly, the Battery tile shows your home battery’s state and battery level.
What do the flowing energy animations represent?
They represent live energy consumption in watts flowing in specific directions. For example, solar generation consumed entirely by the home will flow from the solar panels to the home. Excess energy generation will also flow to the grid.
How is the Electricity Total price calculated?
The price above the Electricity Total graph reflects the cost of imported electricity. It doesn’t reflect exported prices, as regulations for selling energy back to the grid vary by region.
What is Top Consumers, and which devices does it show?
The Top Consumers feature lets you quickly identify the most energy-hungry devices in your home and understand their impact on your bill.
The list includes devices that directly measure their kWh energy consumption. It does not include devices that estimate energy usage, such as those that show “Power usage when off,” “Power usage when on,” or “Constant power usage.”
