ᐅ Experiences with the iONA app and iONA box?

We will soon be able to use the iONA app and iONA box. I am curious if any of you are already working with them. We are looking forward to it.

Since the iONA app is only available to xyz and abc customers who live within the service area of the xyz or abc distribution network (the company names have been anonymized to avoid any accidental advertising), I would like to know if you use other apps, and which ones, as well as your experiences with them. I’m especially interested in identifying our biggest electricity consumers, including the sauna.

Thank you in advance for your replies. 🙂

I had to first take a look at what kind of app this is, but basically it does the same as the meter and the app for our photovoltaic system, that is, logging electricity consumption.
What I’m still wondering is how you’re supposed to identify "energy guzzlers" with it?
How does the app know which devices are currently using electricity if there isn’t a measuring device installed at every outlet?

I don’t yet know how it technically works, but that doesn’t stop me from being a bit excited about it already. ;-) Once it’s installed and I know more, I will share updates.

The website explains that the app makes the impact of individual appliances on total consumption visible. It also says customers can see exactly where costs occur, how high they are, compare devices, and so on. I’ll be happy to report back later on what is marketing and what actually works based on first-hand experience. Maybe someone else in this thread has practical experience to share.

Is the correct meter installed at your property at all?

Is the correct meter even installed at your place?

This will be done tomorrow at 12:00 PM. 🙂 After that, the box will be sent to us ... and then we can get started.

So far, everything has moved quite quickly: On Sunday (06.11.22) we received the supplier’s letter by email. On Monday (07.11.) we called a company for "Technical Services," but we were not yet in their system. Today, Tuesday (08.11.), we called the "Technical Services" company again. Now we are registered in their system and received the technician’s mobile number, who will install the correct meter for us tomorrow. 🙂

Since all of this is supposed to be free of charge for us, I do wonder who benefits from it or if it is simply for customer retention.
