Market Control for Shelly vs iDropper

Market Control for Shelly helps you save on your electricity bill with Shelly smart relays. Setting up a Shelly is easy and needs no IT skills. The app automatically moves your electricity use to the hours when prices are lowest. To automate the savings you need a Shelly smart relay (Gen2 or newer). The simplest Shelly devices, such as the Shelly Plug, can be installed without an electrician. To benefit from low market prices you need to live in one of the supported markets and have a market-price (spot) electricity contract. Key features: • See what you save: the app shows your savings in euros from day one, with no setup. It compares the cost of your electricity with a typical fixed-price contract in your region, based on measured data. Make informed decisions about your electricity contract instead of relying on sales talk. • The price you actually pay: ready-made electricity contracts for every supported region include the market price, supplier margin, network transfer and electricity tax. Edit them to match your own contract. • Cheapest hours: run water heaters, heating or EV charging only in the cheapest hours of the day, down to 15-minute periods. • Price limit: let devices run only when electricity is cheaper than the limit you set. • Rules for price and temperature: simple IF – THEN – ELSE rules based on the electricity price, the outside temperature or your own temperature and humidity sensors. For example: heat regardless of price if the living room drops below 18 °C, otherwise heat in the four cheapest hours. • Affordable sensors: use a Shelly H&T (1st generation) through your Shelly relay. No Shelly account or other app needed. • Programs: several programs per device, so you can switch between operating modes as your needs change. • Manual control: override the automation whenever you need to. • Remote access: manage your devices and settings from anywhere. • Dashboard: see all your devices, their programs and their status at a glance. • 40 electricity markets in 26 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. • Languages: English, Finnish, Swedish, German and Estonian. • Easy setup: configure your Shelly devices directly in the app, with no other tools. • Lightweight and reliable: the script on the Shelly is light and keeps running during network breaks. If the internet connection is lost, devices continue on their latest schedule. • Secure: all communication between your devices and the app is encrypted. • Easy sign-in: sign in with your Apple or Google account, no new password needed. Getting started: 1. Install the app from the App Store. 2. Add your Shelly devices: the app finds and sets them up automatically. 3. Choose a program and start saving right away. Pricing: Free plan: control one Shelly device (up to four appliances with a 4-channel Shelly). Premium plan: control an unlimited number of Shelly devices. Use electricity smarter with Market Control for Shelly, and save both money and the environment. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Point your camera at anything and read its color. iDropper gives you the hex code of whatever you aim at, updating live as you move. Freeze a frame when you find what you want, or work from a photo you already have. WHY THE NUMBERS ARE RIGHT Most color pickers hand you a hex code that's subtly wrong, and never tell you. iDropper pins the camera to sRGB, the color space hex codes are actually defined in, so the values you read match what your design tool will show. It averages a small block rather than a single pixel, because one pixel carries sensor noise and JPEG artifacts that can shift a reading by several values. Small differences, but they're the difference between a code you can use and one you have to eyeball afterwards. ZOOM IN ON THE DETAIL Pinch to zoom the camera itself, not just the picture on screen. That lets you isolate a single thread in a weave, one brushstroke in a painting, or one letter of printed text, instead of reading the blur of everything around it. AVERAGE AN AREA Drag a box over any still image and get the average color inside it. Useful when a surface is textured, patterned, or unevenly lit and no single point represents it. You can choose how the averaging is done. The default works in linear light, which is the physically correct way to blend colors and matches what you see when detail blurs together at a distance. The alternative averages raw values the way most tools do. On a fine pattern the two give visibly different answers. MOOD BOARD Some things don't have one color. A rug, an oil painting, a tweed jacket, a tiled floor. Their average is often a muddy shade that appears nowhere in the piece. Mood Board finds the distinct colors instead, and shows them as a single bar split by how much of your selection each one covers. You see at a glance that a carpet is 40% one brown, 25% a cream, and 15% a rust you hadn't consciously noticed. Tap any band to read and copy its hex. It groups colors the way your eye does, not the way a computer naively would, so it won't split one shade of beige into two entries while lumping a navy in with a black. WHO IT'S FOR Designers matching a client's existing brand color from a printed sample. Painters and decorators reading a wall before mixing. Interior designers pulling a palette from a rug, tile, or fabric swatch. Illustrators and digital artists collecting reference from the world. Anyone who has ever stood in front of something and wondered exactly what color it is. ALSO • Magnifier that floats above your finger, so your fingertip never hides the target • History of your last twelve colors, tap to recall • One tap to copy any hex to the clipboard • Works on photos from your library as well as the live camera PRIVACY iDropper has no account, no tracking, and no network access at all. Your photos never leave your device because nothing is ever sent anywhere. The camera is used only to show you the live preview and read colors from it.
