New frient alert: Monitor energy consumption and remote-control large appliances with the Smart Cable 2

Using smart plugs to control electrical appliances is central in any smart home. But what about larger appliances that don’t have a plug or require a higher electrical load?

Meet the Smart Cable 2 – a remote control and energy monitor for large appliances.

It connects directly to the cable of your electric radiator, air conditioning, oven, or other appliance and can handle up to 16 A.

Once connected, the Smart Cable 2 monitors the energy consumption of your appliance, lets you turn it on and off via your phone, and enables you to add it to your smart home automations.

Please note: The Smart Cable 2 needs a hub to connect to your smart home. You can find a list of all compatible hubs here.

Become energy-aware

The first step to optimizing your energy consumption and reducing your electricity bill is identifying your energy-thirsty appliances.

The Smart Cable 2 is your frient at hand for monitoring your appliances.

And once you’ve spotted which ones are especially big spenders, it’ll help you turn them off via your phone or smart home automation – no matter if you’re at home or not.

Use electricity when it’s cheap

Does your electricity price fluctuate depending on the time of day? Make use of this and let your appliances run when it’s cheaper.

Use the Smart Cable 2 to make sure you use energy when it’s not too expensive. Check the electricity prices and turn on your appliances remotely when it’s cheap.

And as a bonus, you’re also doing something good for the environment – because when many people are using a lot of electricity at the same time, this affects the grid and the environment.
