Power Manager - Override the optimisation

Power Manager is a service within Futurehome that optimises your energy usage. In short, it turns your devices on/up when there is available capacity and the price is low, and off/down in the opposite scenario. This means that your devices are turned off/down at some hours of the day.

Overriding Power Manager

As of today, we do not have a button or out-of-the-box solution for overriding. But you can select which devices to be included in Power Manager

1. Open the app and click the “Energy” tile on the dashboard.

2. In the upper right, click “Optimisation” and “Managed devices”.

3. Deselect the devices you want to override and go back.

4. Since the last state on the device was off, you need to turn it on.

Keep in mind

• This can affect Power Manager's ability to keep your energy consumption below your set limit for the grid tariff.

• Always remember to select the device in the list of managed devices when you are done overriding.

• If you deselect an EV charger, the dynamic load balancing will still work. Meaning that there should not be a risk of tripping your main breaker, but this does not mean you are guaranteed to stay below the grid tariff threshold.
