About this app

Wouldn’t it be great to know how much it costs to run your air conditioning? Or the heater? Or the lights the kids are constantly leaving on upstairs?

With Powerpal you can see how your energy use changes when you turn on and off your home appliances, so you can take control of how you want to use energy in your home.

The Powerpal app reveals your power usage in real-time and keeps track of your history, helping you to make better decisions about the way you use energy.

With Powerpal you can set a monthly spend target and see how you’re tracking in real time.
You’ll receive alerts to tell you if you’re on target, and get some tips to get back on track if you’re not.

By combining Powerpal with a time of use tariff you could access cheaper energy during off-peak times.
Simple changes like running your dishwasher after 10pm can add up to big savings on your bill.

Ratings and reviews

I'm onto my third one as the two previous ones have failed. The app seems to have trouble connecting to the power pal often. The to do is full of ads and for me adds no value. an interesting idea, but since it's a smart meter why can't we get the data directly from the meter rather than counting pulses ...

Negatives🥴 it doesn't sync. The BT needs improving. I have to go to my bedroom for reception. Half my block doesn't get any. They have removed it. I had a breakdown which lost much data. Now too many requests to pair. Positives 😃 Great for checking future Price Spikes and planning high power use in advance. ie: i can see it's cheaper not to turn on heater for another half hour. Or to warm my flat up when prices are lower then off when Electricity prices rise.

Like so many other reviewers here the app continuously drops bluetooth connection, even when you are in a room right next to the unit at the meter box, it regularly fails to connect, it sends repair requests alerts several times each day AND right through the NIGHT, it is constantly going off and constantly beeping to repair, which cannot be silenced. It just drives you crazy. It's great when its working but so much software connection problems makes it a nightmare.
