Smartlife Energy EcoControl
Save money and the environment
The new Green Energy Control revolution - for (almost) everyone
Are you eligible?
Not everyone has a house suitable for Solar or can drive an EV. If you have electric hot water, heat pump or panel heaters, underfloor heating, a pool or an EV charger you qualify for Smart DR Energy solution.
Fast Payback
The Smartlife DR Energy Solution generally pays for itself in 1-3 years - better than most solar, battery or EV investments.
Expandable
Act now, start with the basic system - that can be expanded to more energy control as well as options to make a safer, fun home or work environment with everything in one place.
Help save energy, cost, and the planet.
The Smartlife Labs EcoControl solution automatically acts to shift variable electrical loads to off-peak times, and to be available at other times as part of an Energy Demand Response system.
By automatically controlling hot water cylinders, EV chargers, HVAC and underfloor heating, etc these can be scheduled to take advantage of off-peak rates and 'free hour of power' electricity schemes. The trick is to do this whilst minimising any inconvenience, it's easy to override the Eco Mode switch in the App to charge the EV right now or make sure there is plenty of hot water for guests.
If you have battery storage, the system can be configured to draw down from the batteries at peak times and top up during off-peak times (if it is not charged from the solar panels).
Smartlife Connect App and the Eco Control products are at the forefront of the change to Eco Smart Home or 'Green Smart Home and Business' worldwide trend. See the overview here from NZ Government website.
By buying into a EcoControl system right now you are not only immediately helping to reduce fossil fuel usage and save money, you are also all set up to participate in the Energy Demand Response market.

-
This control kit is installed by one of our approved electricians and is configured to use off-peak rates and free-hour-of-power
Hydronic Underfloor Heating
P.O.A
Some key features
-
Hydronic underfloor heating can be a more environmentally friendly option for heating a home, compared to some other methods. Because the system uses water to transfer heat, it can be more efficient at retaining heat and distributing it throughout a home. This can lead to lower energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Because hydronic underfloor heating systems use water to transfer heat, they can store heat for a longer period of time than some other types of heating systems. This can make it easier to control and adjust the heat output of the system in response to changes in electricity demand.
-
Through the App you can turn off Eco mode if you want to override it
-
Our smart controller replaces the basic controler and controls the actuators (or valves) regulating the flow of water. Floor temperature and room temperature are measured from the KNX switches and the system maintains an even, comfortable temperature and ensures the HVAC system is not 'fighting' and wasting energy
