ME Smart
Read full descriptionHide full description
ME Smart connects devices that use, produce or store larger amounts of electricity. It determines when it makes sense to use, produce or store just the right amount of electricity via utilising our AI Strategies. ME Smart Controller links solar power plants, energy storage systems, heat pumps, and electric chargers to the ME Smart system. It manages electricity production and consumption, adjusts power draw from the grid, and uses advanced algorithms to ensure cost-effective energy use and maximum self-sufficiency. ME Smart Gateway This extension of the ME Smart system converts RS485 serial signals into TCP/IP signals. It is used when the ME Smart Controller’s two RS485 inputs are insufficient or when the device’s distance makes cable connections impractical. Additionally, the Gateway can control third-party devices via two relay outputs, such as a heat pump using SmartGrid Ready (SG Ready) or an EVU contact. The ME Smart Converters capture billing measurement data from meters with specific outputs without the need of additional power. The P1 and P1 – WiFi model wirelessly connects meters like the Iskraemeco AM550 to your network via WiFi or cable. The I1 (M-Bus) – Cable model connects meters like the Landis+Gyr E350 and E450 to the ME Smart controller via a wired connection. We optimize: ME Smart connects devices that use, produce or store larger amounts of electricity. It determines when it makes sense to use, produce or store just the right amount of electricity via utilising our AI Strategies. Smart EV Charging: When you at your home or in work, your vehicle could and should be charged the way it gets the battery full for the lowest cost possible. This becomes even more important if your company owns and charges multiple vehicles. Demand Response: When there is too much electricity available on the market, the result in low or even negative energy prices. You can benefit by adapting your use or production of energy to match what the market needs: use less or more, depending on the time. Supported devices: ME Smart can connect to more than 250 devices across 50 brands.

A four-mode privacy sweep for hotel rooms, rentals, changing rooms and your own bag. ITEM TRACKER DETECTION • Identifies nearby AirTag, Tile, SmartTag and Chipolo trackers by their Bluetooth signature • Follow detection — the app remembers what it has seen, so it can tell you when the same tracker keeps reappearing across separate sweeps in different places. That pattern, not a single sighting, is what matters • Distance band by signal strength, so you can walk toward it • Your own paired devices are filtered out, and anything found is labelled as a lead to check, never as proof CAMERA AND ROOM SWEEP • Lens reflection check — a guided walkthrough that uses the camera to help you spot the glint of a lens in vents, smoke detectors and mirrors • Bluetooth device scan — counts nearby signals and flags unnamed devices sitting close by • Magnetic anomaly — takes a two-second baseline when the scan starts, then alerts on field spikes as you sweep past fittings ROOM-BY-ROOM SWEEP LIST Work through bedroom, bathroom, living room and office, marking each as swept. Progress saves itself, so an interrupted sweep can be picked up later. RECORDS • Every scan is saved with a 7-day trend and a plain-language summary • Note and favourite any scan; compare two saved scans side by side • Export as CSV or share a single result • Watchlist — mark a device as suspicious and the app tells you when it shows up again WHAT THIS APP CAN AND CANNOT DO iPhone cameras have infrared-cut filters, so this app does not see infrared. The lens check works on reflection: a lens returns a distinctive glint when light hits it straight on. Bluetooth gives you presence and rough distance, never direction. Magnetic detection depends on starting somewhere clean and sweeping slowly. No phone app can guarantee a room is clear — use all four checks together, and treat every hit as something to look at rather than a verdict. If you believe you are being followed or watched, contact local authorities. This app is a tool for looking, not evidence. Available in 25 languages.
