How does it work

ePriceLight is a secure cloud service that integrates with your Philips Hue smart light system. It changes the colour of the chosen light based on the current electricity price in your country. Green colour indicates that electricity is currently cheap, while red indicates higher prices. For prices falling somewhere in between, the light will display shades of green or red. With ePriceLight, you can make informed decisions about your energy usage and save money.

Operating modes

Real-time Mode

The picture above illustrates the logic of the real-time mode. In this example, the user has set the minimum and maximum thresholds at 5 and 25 c/kWh, respectively. The light's colour updates every hour to reflect the current electricity price.

2 h Average Mode

The picture above explains the logic of the 2 h average mode. The user has configured the minimum and maximum thresholds to be 5 and 25 c/kWh, respectively. At 19:50, the electricity price trend is showing a decline, and the ePriceLight indicator has turned light green, indicating that it's a good time for electricity consumption. For instance, this would be an ideal moment to charge an electric car or to use appliances such as a laundry machine or dishwasher.

Reduced carbon footprint. Many power plants rely on fossil fuels to generate electricity, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. By using electricity during off-peak hours, you can help reduce the demand for electricity during peak hours, which can in turn help reduce the need for fossil fuel-based power generation.

Reduced strain on the power grid. During peak hours, the power grid can become overloaded, which can lead to power outages. By using electricity during off-peak hours, you can help reduce the strain on the power grid and minimize the risk of power outages.

Improved air quality. Fossil fuel-based power generation can also contribute to poor air quality, which can have negative health impacts. By reducing the demand for electricity during peak hours, you can help reduce the amount of pollutants emitted by power plants, which can lead to improved air quality.
