The comprehensive visualization of all energy flows in your home gives you a complete picture of how much energy is currently drawn from your solar panel / battery / grid and where it is consumed (home / battery / grid / virtual wallbox). It is also possible, as an optional premium feature, to store your energy data for a period of up to 2 years. This will give you a long term overview of how and where your energy was generated and consumed. Configurable notifications let you when certain conditions are met in near real time. The Apple Watch integration shows you the charging state of your battery and how much power it currently consumes / provides. In addition to that, as a premium feature, a beautiful visualization of the current energy flow (sankey diagram) and an overview of the last 24 hours.
