Know what is running — without switching it

See your sauna, oven, washing machine or the whole home live, know what the energy cost today, and get told when something runs too long.

Monitoring never switches anything. It only reads the meters.

Some appliances should never be switched by an app: a sauna heater, an oven, a washing machine in the middle of a cycle. But you still want to know when they are on, how long they have been running, and what they use.

A small Shelly meter on the circuit tells SaveElectro exactly that — and a meter in the distribution board shows the whole home at once.

What monitoring gives you

Power right now

See what each appliance is drawing at this moment, and whether it counts as running.

Energy and cost today

Kilowatt-hours used today and what that energy cost at the exchange price — per appliance and for the whole home.

"Runs too long" alert

Choose a limit, for example three hours for the sauna. You get one alert per run if it goes over.

Freezer stopped

A working freezer or fridge starts its compressor several times an hour. If it hasn't run for the hours you choose (3 by default), you get an alert before the food spoils, and another when it runs again.

Water pump running too long

A well or booster pump that keeps running often means a leaking pipe, a running tap or a toilet that keeps filling. Set a limit and hear about it before the damage grows.

The whole home

A meter in the distribution board shows your total use live — and feeds your monthly budget every day.

Temperatures too

Add a probe and see the sauna, a room or a technical space next to its power reading.

Never switched

Monitored devices are never sent a command. If a type of appliance can later be controlled safely, it moves to automation without losing its history.

How to get started

1
Add a meter
A Shelly measuring device on the appliance's circuit, or a whole-home meter in the distribution board, fitted by an electrician.
2
Tell SaveElectro what it measures
Sauna, oven, freezer, water pump, air conditioner, washing machine, EV charger or whole home, and the alert that fits it.
3
Watch it in My Home
Live power and today's totals, with an alert only when something needs you.

What you need

For one appliance

A Shelly measuring device such as the PM Mini, or a Shelly relay with power metering, on the appliance's circuit. Fitted by an electrician.

For the whole home

A Shelly Pro 3EM in the distribution board (three-phase), fitted by an electrician.

Wi-Fi

The meters report through the Shelly cloud, so the property needs a working internet connection.

Any electricity contract

Monitoring works with any contract.

Questions people ask

Why doesn't SaveElectro switch the sauna off?

A sauna heater has its own thermostat and overheat protection, and switching it remotely isn't safe. SaveElectro tells you it is on; you decide what to do.

Is the energy cost my bill?

No. It is the energy used multiplied by the exchange price. Transfer fees, electricity tax and basic fees come on top — the monthly budget adds those from your own settings.

How accurate are the readings?

They come from the Shelly meter itself. If a device only reports power, SaveElectro estimates the energy and marks it "estimated".

Start with the sauna or the whole home

One meter is enough to see what is running — and to stop wondering whether the sauna is still on.
