Smart kettle

The smart kettle boils your water for you. It can wait until electricity is cheap and boil then, so a morning cup costs less.

Tutorials

Boil when the power is cheapYou make tea every morning and your power is cheaper at some hours. Instead of checking the price, you ask for a cheap boil. This tutorial also shows what happens when the price provider goes quiet, because that is when you most need to know what the kettle is doing.Knowing how far to trust the priceThe dot next to the price tells you how current it is. This tutorial follows a price from live to late to missing, and shows what each state means for you.A cheap boil on a late priceWhether a late price may start a boil is not decided yet (see the boiling when it is cheap topic), so this tutorial is proposed and is left out of the approved manual.

Boiling when it is cheap

A cheap boil tells the kettle to wait until the price is low, so you do not have to watch it. You fill the kettle, choose the price you call cheap and ask for a cheap boil. The kettle waits until the price reaches your cheap rate, then boils.

Seeing the electricity price

The smart kettle is for people who want to spend less on hot drinks, such as someone who makes tea every morning and would rather boil when power is cheap. They open the app and read the price. They use it to decide whether to boil now or wait.
