See the price at a glance, right where you use electricity

Show the electricity price on a Shelly plug: its light turns green, yellow or red with the price, and SaveElectro shows what your sauna costs, live. It can also give power only while electricity is cheap, so a battery charges at the right time by itself.

Spot price Free

The exchange price for your area right now, incl. VAT, without transfer fees or your contract's margin. The same price as on saveelectro.com.

🧾

Your full price Premium

What one kWh really costs you now: the spot price plus your contract's margin, transfer fees and taxes, from your contract settings.

What an appliance costs: switches automatically
🔌

Cost if you start now Premium

For an appliance such as the sauna: what a session would cost if you switched it on now, at your full price, with a cheaper time if there is one.

⏱️

Cost so far Premium

While the appliance is on: what this session has cost since it was switched on, measured by its Shelly meter.

Green = cheap, yellow = normal, red = expensive. Cyan = free electricity (0), purple = below zero; a slow pulse to green means free energy now. A fast purple and yellow blink = your full price is below zero.

⚡ Power when cheap

Optional, on the free plan too: the plug gives power only while electricity is cheap — green or lime light, and of course free (cyan) or below zero (purple). Plug in a battery charger and it charges when electricity is cheap, by itself.

🟢

On when cheap

Power on while the light is green or lime (or cyan or purple), off at yellow, orange and red. Premium can also allow yellow.

👆

Boost: power now

Press the plug's button for power for 1 hour at any price. Need longer? Press again when the hour has passed. Then the price decides again.

🔋

Stop when full

When a charger has finished and draws almost nothing for ten minutes, the plug switches off.

🛡️

Safe without internet

No internet turns the light white within about two minutes; no fresh price for 30 minutes means power off. It never stays on by mistake.

For e-bike, scooter and tool batteries, phone and laptop chargers. Never for a fridge, freezer, washing machine or medical device. Read the manual

Questions people ask

Does the price light switch my sauna on or off?

No. In the standard mode it only shows the price or the cost: your sauna, its thermostat and its safety devices work exactly as before. The optional Power when cheap mode switches the plug's own socket, and it is meant only for things like battery chargers. Never use it for a sauna, a fridge or anything that must not lose power.

In Power when cheap mode, can I get power when electricity is expensive?

Yes: press the plug's button. It gives power for 1 hour at any price (Boost). Need longer? Press again when the hour has passed. Done sooner? Press again during the boost and the plug goes back to cheap hours. You can also boost from your phone on My price lights. The button works even without internet.

What does “your sauna is earning money” mean?

On rare nights the spot price falls far below zero. If it falls so low that your full price, including transfer fees and taxes, is below zero too, you are paid for the electricity you use. SaveElectro shows this only when your own full price is really negative. When just the spot price is zero or negative, it says the electricity itself is free, because you still pay transfer fees and taxes.

Can I buy the plug from you?

Yes, in Finland: a Shelly Plug S Gen3 with your personal script already installed, 49 € incl. VAT, delivered by post or set up during a home visit near Savonlinna and Rantasalmi (+65 €). It includes 3 months of Premium free; after that Premium is 3,90 €/month on the same card unless you cancel.

I live in Sweden, Norway, Denmark or the Baltics. Does it work for me?

Yes. Spot prices for all 7 countries are built in. Ready-to-use plugs are delivered in Finland for now, so buy a Shelly plug locally and set it up yourself in about 15 minutes with the manual. Everything else works the same.

What is free and what is Premium?

Free: one price light with the spot price, brightness and night dimming, and Power when cheap. Premium: up to 10 lights, your full price incl. transfer fees and taxes, your own colour limits, power on also at normal price (yellow), and what an appliance costs.

Do I need an electrician?

Not for the plug: you just plug it in. To see what the sauna has cost so far, the sauna needs a Shelly meter on its circuit, such as a Shelly PM Mini or Pro EM, and that must be installed by an electrician.

Which countries are covered?

Spot prices for Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, every quarter-hour. After you sign in, prices are shown in your own currency. Day/night tariffs and a clean-energy mode for fixed-price contracts are coming.

What happens if the internet goes down?

If the plug loses the internet, its light turns white within about two minutes, meaning “no fresh price”. While it reconnects, Shelly's own red or blue signals may flash briefly. It never keeps showing an old green while prices are high. In Power when cheap mode the plug also switches its power off after 30 minutes without a fresh price.

Is the script on my plug safe?

The script only reads your price from SaveElectro, sets the colour of the light and, only if you turn on Power when cheap, switches the plug's own socket. It contains your personal key, which you can replace at any time with “New key”.
