Tibber
About the vendor and its products
Tibber is probably a somewhat unexpected company to present on a smart home page as its primary business is selling electric power. But what makes the Norwegian company Tibber far more exciting than the average power company is that it offers different types of integration with smart home solutions. Lately, a dedicated Tibber product; Tibber Pulse, which is a small device that is connected to the power meter and displays real-time power consumption in the Tibber app.

Tibber Pulse |
The Pulse unit was very easy to install, you only have to get the local utility to open the HAN port on the power meter. Both displaying power consumption via Pulse and the connection to the other devices mentioned work fairly well, though I could have wished for even more automatic control of devices based on power prices and consumption during the day. It is possible to define some rules in Homey, but this is somewhat cumbersome. |
