Optimiser Tool

On an Agile tariff the cost of running your appliances can vary dramatically depending on the time of day. This tool will help you find the best time to run your appliance to take advantage of the cheapest electricity rates.

The appliances shown below are a sample set illustrating what this tool can do. Please add your own appliances to get started. Configure the name, expected runtime and whether to display the time until start or the time until finish. You can also configure the maximum allowable delay, and set preferences about which time of day your appliance should run.
