About this app

Ratings and reviews

Excellent ap. The layout and graphs are far better than the regular efergy one. I had an issue with a sensor not showing up that I added and contacted the developer. He looked into it and updated the ap so it would work. Amazing support! New update is awesome. Far superior app to the engage one.

Handy enough app, but a few times I've had to reinstall it due to it failing (related to power loss at home, it doesn't automatically return to functional even when the efergy site can see the usage)... Limited to only 3 devices. I think there are more powerful features (add subtract etc) so might be possible to actually monitor import export quantities but there are zero instructions and honestly not up to a top rating.... But it sooo could be with bit more development!!

Easy to use. Clear interface. Would be nice to have the following features: 1. Be able to change the size of the bubble readout so that they can all fit into one screen when there are 4 or more bubbles. 2. Be able to automatically change the colour of the font base on the value being displayed. 3. Be able to manually select the colour of the bubbles background based on the types being displayed. Overall it is a very good app and love it.

What's new

Charts page has had dropdown replaced with tabs for quicker access. To go fullscreen, tap a tab twice. Tap the tab again to leave fullscreen.

Displayed date is displayed across the entire screen to support smaller screens. Implemented a new date picker that allows keyboard entry.
