The ivie app breaks down your energy usage by activity and works out easy ways you can cut down and save money. From heating and lighting to those always-on appliances, the ivie app makes it clear what’s eating up your energy so you can make smart decisions.

Chameleon’s technology enables smart meter data to be available in SmartThings

The ivie app is here to make energy smart, simple, green and personal. Save an average 18% on your monthly electricity usage, and 24% on your monthly gas usage with the free ivie app. Then the expected usage for each day is totally unrealistic. The application expects a family of 3 to use less than 5, sometimes less than 2.5 kWh of gas per day. This would basically mean that we would have to shower in cold water. Forget about baths or washing your dishes in hot water. During the winter it was easier to cut down as there was something to cut from. So yeah, I have moved to applications that show me the usage of particular fuels without unrealistic goals. We are low users comparing to the average UK household but we still want to live fairly normal life.

The ivie app helps you find ways to save energy and money at home with personalised tips and reports. Powered by your smart meter data, it can list which activities and appliances are consuming the most energy. Make positive changes to save energy and earn ivie points, which you can exchange for rewards and prizes. Good for you, good for the planet. Connect an ivie Bud in-home display to the ivie app and get live smart meter data, so you can make spot-on decisions on the spot.With the need for action on energy consumption and decarbonisation more important than ever, the hope is that services like SmartThings Energy can help galvanise consumer interest in smart meters by empowering users to take action based on their energy usage data more easily.
