About this app

The Smart Box is a product for visualizing and optimizing self-generated electricity from a photovoltaic (PV) system.

The app offers PV owners the following features:
- Clear dashboard with the most important metrics of the PV system
- Energy flows (graphic representation of energy flows between the PV system, the electricity grid, the battery, and household consumption)
- Quick view of the last 7 days (production, self-consumption, grid consumption)
- The views and metrics familiar from the web application are fully available in the app (detailed monthly views, daily views, level of self-sufficiency, etc.)
- Setting the charging type for the electric car (only when the sun is shining, when the sun is shining, and during off-peak hours, etc.)
- Setting the prioritization of connected devices (hot water, heating, car charging station, etc.)
- Forecasts of PV production for the next 3 days and recommendations for the use of household appliances
- Electric cars, heat pumps, and batteries are influenced by dynamic pricing to stabilize the grid
