The ivie app creates a smart and personal energy-saving experience using smart meter data
Chameleon Technology today launches the ivie app, the free energy-saving app that gives users total control over their home energy. Powered by a household’s smart meter data, the ivie app lets users see exactly where and how they’re using energy at home. It also provides personalised energy-saving tips and challenges to help them make the biggest savings. The ivie app additionally can be upgraded with live energy data when connected to an ivie Bud In-Home Display.
Households under pressure
With average energy bills now rising to £3,549 from October 1st 2022, it is essential for households to understand how they use energy. The ivie app will be a helpful resource for struggling households who are looking to save energy and reduce their bills. The launch of our free, supplier-agnostic app will help households make the right energy-saving decisions that will reduce costs for their needs.
Helping homes reduce energy, carbon and costs in the home
Understanding energy usage and how to reduce it has been a difficult task for most households. With the ivie app, users can easily understand how and when they’re using energy. With clear activity breakdowns, reports and personal energy-saving tips and challenges, there’s no guesswork involved.
Clear visualisation
Energy usage breakdowns clearly show which habits and activities, such as laundry or appliances that are always left on, are using the most energy in the home. Users receive clarity on what steps they can take next, through personalised energy-savings tips and challenges based on their actual energy usage.
A winning mentality
The ivie app also has a reward system in place. Users can complete challenges to save energy, earning points which can be exchanged for raffles and prizes. By making energy-saving rewarding, users are given a more engaging experience with managing energy in the home.
See live energy data in the ivie app, only with the ivie Bud In-Home Display (IHD)
Connecting the ivie Bud IHD to the ivie app allows users to see their live energy data. The added benefit of real-time data can help users make instant decisions by comparing and adjusting how and when energy is used in the home.
The ivie Bud was launched early this year as part of Chameleon’s replacement In-Home Display (IHD) service in support of the continuing smart meter rollout. The ivie Bud works with all energy suppliers and is compatible with most SMETS1 and SMETS2 smart meters. Households are directed to use a compatibility checker before checkout to ensure their smart meter can work with the ivie Bud.
Accurate energy insights are crucial to changing the way households approach their energy bills
The ivie app and ivie Bud were created to make managing home energy simpler, smarter and more personal. Accurate, real-time energy data is crucial for achieving this. With live data, people can make smart energy-saving decisions on the spot that bring genuine change to how they use energy.
