HomeWizard introduces an important update for the Plug-In Battery that takes energy management to the next level. With the new smart charging function, the battery no longer only looks at the current energy consumption, but actively plans ahead. This allows the battery to use energy more efficiently, save costs and at the same time contribute to a more stable power grid.

The feature is immediately available to all Plug-In Battery users and only requires one update of the HomeWizard app. An Energy+ subscription is not required, making smart charging accessible to anyone who wants to organize their energy consumption more intelligently.
