1. Reduce your energy bill with the electrical load controller
The smart electrical load controller allows the remote control of any energy-intensive appliance such as water heaters, EV recharges or pool pumps. You could actually generate great savings by connecting the load controller to your outdoor equipment. As reported by some utilities, your pool and your hot tub could represent up to 70% of your summer energy bill. Getting better control over your energy-intensive appliances could actually pay off!
The electrical load controller must be connected to the GT130 gateway to unleash its full potential. Benefit from its many cool features through the Neviweb app: activate timers to turn off the connected device after some time or turn on the control lock to prevent a device from being manually turned on or off. Its compatibility with home automations platforms like SmartThings, Hubitat or Neviweb, and with Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice assistants, will undoubtedly please everyone.
*Indoor installation recommended. It is possible to install the device outdoor in a waterproof case.

Advice: Create an automation with your smart switch to turn on or off the ceiling fan with just a double-click. Get some fresh air upon your arrival home or simply by controlling the fan remotely.
3. Connect the smart plug in a breeze
With the smart plug, it’s a breeze to create a breeze. Connect your fan, and there you go: air in the hair, you’re fresher than ever. And you just had to use either geofencing, automation or scenes! Connect any small appliance to the smart plug and have it turn on/off ahead of time. Think about this freshly-brewed coffee you could drink in the morning without lifting a finger...
