How this automation works

Automatically power on your Energenie Mi|Home device when electricity prices drop below your chosen threshold. The Applet runs whenever Agile Octopus detects that the energy import price falls past the limit you set, considering your tariff and carbon intensity preferences. Perfect for saving money on energy costs and automating smart home usage based on real-time pricing.
