## What is Basis Home?

Isn't it crazy how we know more about what's happening on Mars than what's happening with our energy bills? It seems like we’re always in the dark about the very thing that lights up our homes. The usual routine? Get the bill, maybe grumble, pay it, and repeat. Well, Basis is here to change all that. The Basis Home app connects to your Basis smart panel and delivers a fully personalised energy experience right to your phone.

There's so much you can do with the Basis Home app! Set up routines to use energy when it's cheapest, control connected devices from anywhere (like switching off the oven if you forget about your focaccia before you leave the house!), and action simple changes that actually make a difference. All these small things add up to big savings – over $1,000 per year, to be more specific. Plus, you'll have that ultimate peace of mind knowing your home's electrical health is always in check. It’s like having a personal energy assistant right in your pocket!

If you want to know more, here's an amuse-bouche of what you can do with the Basis Home app: 
- Ultimate peace of mind: Keep an eye on your home's electrical health and get instant alerts for any issues so you can nip potential hazards right in the bud.
- Control from anywhere: You can manage individual circuits with just a few taps, whether at home or out and about.
- Set and forget routines: Create schedules and timers for your appliances to make sure they’re using energy efficiently, and you’re saving money.
- Insights that make a difference: Find out which energy plan is best for you, track down energy-sucking devices, discover optimal times for appliance use, and more!
- Go green: Make the most of your renewable energy setups and do your part for the planet
- Forever getting better: Keep unleashing the power of your switchboard with every feature release.
