Five separate apps for one home — the coordination problem nobody solved

Five separate apps for one home — the coordination problem nobody solved

A modern energy home isn't one system. It's five.

A typical setup

Solar and battery app. Heat pump app. EV app. Tariff provider. Smart meter. Each one works individually. The problem: none of them communicate.

"But everything is automated"

Yes — but each system automates itself, not the home. At 6pm, the EV starts charging, the battery fills, and heating ramps up. All competing for expensive energy at the same time.

The cost

Energy insight graphic

Pricing and demand patterns shift daily. Fixed schedules rarely capture the highest-value windows.

Individually small. But consistent.

£1–£3 per day. £500–£1,500 per year. Not from one bad decision — from five systems that never talk to each other.

Why this hasn't been solved

Because each product optimises its own device, not the full system. GivEnergy built for batteries. tado built for heat. myenergi built for EV charging. Nobody built for the home as a whole.

What's missing

A coordination layer that sees everything, controls timing, and optimises across devices.

The takeaway

The problem isn't energy. It's coordination.

Fix it with Aveum

Aveum coordinates timing across your battery, EV charger, heat pump, and tariff signals so your home runs in the cheapest and highest-value windows.
