Härryda Energi launches new app with smart control and the EL:IN real-time meter
Härryda Energi has launched its new app, and we are proud to have been part of the journey. With the app, Härryda Energi takes the next step: customers should not only be able to follow their energy usage, but also control it more smartly.
Everything customers already use, and more
All the features customers are already used to remain in the new app: electricity usage, solar production, invoices, current electricity prices and news. Customers can plan their electricity use around the price, compare consumption between periods and keep track of their costs.
The app is free and available to Härryda Energi's electricity grid and electricity retail customers. Sign-in is with BankID, and several people in the same household can be given access.
Smart control of EV charging and heating
The big news is the ability to control the home's largest electricity consumers more smartly. Customers can connect their smart products to the app and follow solar production, control EV charging and manage heating, all in one place.
The app supports many common products, for example EV chargers from Easee, Zaptec, Garo, CTEK and Charge Amp, solar inverters from SolarEdge and Huawei, and heating control from Ngenic, Sensibo, Ebeco and Qvantum, among others. New integrations are added continuously.
The EL:IN real-time meter
Alongside the launch, Härryda Energi is also introducing the EL:IN real-time meter. EL:IN connects to the electricity meter's HAN port and continuously reads the home's electricity usage, which is then shown directly in the app.
The meter's HAN port can differ between grid areas. Härryda Energi's own grid customers have an RJ45 port, while electricity retail customers in other grid areas may have a meter with RJ12. That is why Härryda Energi offers EL:IN in both versions, so every customer can connect the meter, whichever grid they belong to.
With EL:IN, customers can:
- — Follow electricity usage in real time and find what in the home draws a lot of power.
- — Get notifications when electricity usage is high.
- — Use load balancing to keep power peaks down.
- — See the phase load, meaning how the load is distributed between the home's phases.
EL:IN is developed and produced by us at Fore Development, and the same meter is used by several energy companies in Energisystemet™.
The strength lies in collaboration
The app is built on Energisystemet™, the same solution used by several other energy companies. This means Härryda Energi can keep developing the app over time, together with us and the other companies.
“Through the collaboration with Fore Development and other energy companies using the same solution, we have good opportunities to keep developing the app over time. It allows us to meet our customers' growing digital needs while adapting the solution to new requirements and opportunities in the energy market.”
That is how Anna Carlstedt, Marketing Manager at Härryda Energi, puts it (translated from Swedish), and we agree. When several energy companies share the same solution, we can develop it faster and better, together. Many of the features in Energisystemet™ started as ideas and requests from Härryda Energi and our other customers, and that is how we want to keep working.
Thank you, Härryda Energi
A big thank you for your trust! We look forward to continuing to develop the app and EL:IN together with you.
