Samsung has launched a new service which enables UK households to manage their energy usage directly from their phones.

Housed on Samsung’s SmartThings platform, and powered by smart energy technology company Chameleon Technology, customers can add their smart meter to see how much energy they’re using, understand how much it’s costing them, and set and track budgets on their mobile.

The platform also includes recommended tariffs for customers.

“In a time when people are feeling a lack of control over their energy usage, with very limited options to mitigate increasing costs, we’re pleased to be able to drive change in the energy space by launching SmartThings Energy,” said Teg Donsanjh, director of connected services and technology, Samsung UK and Ireland. “We’ve been working hard with our partners Chameleon Technology and Uswitch over the past few months to deliver a completely free-to-use, independent service that takes the guesswork out of household energy management, empowering our customers to have a holistic view of their energy consumption, providing budgeting capabilities.”
