Great app

I moved to Eon more than 3 months ago and still have received no statements and the Eon app does not work which is really irritating my electrical consumption control freakery. This app is my sanity saver - and it’s free, thanks team. I have deducted one star as the graphs are taller than my iPad screen so I have to scroll around to see the full picture, and I think more could be done with the data (exports for instance).

Seems abandoned

Had high hopes for this app but after registering and being told it would take 48 hours to load the data I’m now 5 weeks down the line and absolutely no response from the developers. Now worried about who has my data.

Not impressed

I signed up fire an account. Waited for a validation email. Didn’t get one. Checked spam. Nothing.
I’ve tried several times to get it resent. The app crashes every time. How do I go about getting you to delete all my details as per the gdpr?

FAQ

What does the Bright app do?

The Bright app allows you to monitor your electricity and gas consumption in real-time from your smart meters. It helps you manage your energy usage and spend more efficiently, aiming to support carbon reduction efforts.

What hardware do I need to use Bright?

For real-time data, you need Glowmarkt compatible hardware, which can work with either smart or traditional meters. SMETS2 (or E&A SMETS 1) meters can access half-hourly data for free after verification. Clamp-on technology sensors can also support electricity usage monitoring.

Is the Bright app free to use?

Yes, people with SMETS2 (or E&A SMETS 1) meters can access their half-hourly data with Bright for free after completing a verification process. The app itself is free to download and use.

How can I access my smart meter data with Bright?

You can check your energy consumption, including electricity and gas usage, via the DCC or our Consumer Access Device (CAD). Clamp-on technology sensors are also supported for electricity monitoring.

Where can I find more information or get support?
