“It’s let our home optimise for time-of-use tariffs and solar saving serious money each month while bringing a greater level of safety for our children and electronics”
What we noticed
When the family’s sump pump seemed to have died, Basis showed otherwise it was running fine all along. The data surfaced a few more surprises too. Their HRV system was drawing heavily over long runs of 8+ hours a day, while the air-to-air heat pump proved a genuinely efficient way to heat the home.
What changed
Using Home Assistant, their Basis Panel now adjusts the hot water schedule automatically soaking up their own solar and steering around peak time-of-use rates to save serious money each month There’s a safety upside too. They’ve stopped buying surge-protected power boards to shield sensitive electronics around the house, and feel their home is a safer place for the children.
Lower bills and a safer home, with hot water tuned automatically to solar and time-of-use rates.
