Hi everyone,
Tired of guessing when to run your washing machine to save on energy costs? Power Profiler takes the guesswork out of it.
What it does
Pair it with any smart plug that reports power usage, and Power Profiler will:
- Learn your appliance’s power profile automatically — it detects wash cycles, dry cycles, etc. and builds a minute-by-minute consumption pattern
- Fetch day-ahead energy prices from your provider (EasyEnergy, EnergyZero, Frank Energie, ANWB Energie, Mijndomein Energie)
- Schedule the cheapest start time — using the actual power profile shape, not just a flat kWh estimate
- Trigger a flow when it’s time to start, so you can automate turning on the plug
Flow cards
- Trigger: “Cheapest start time reached” / “Cycle completed”
- Condition: “Has a profile” / “Is scheduled”
- Action: “Schedule cheapest start before deadline” / “Clear schedule”
Tracks your savings
The device page shows total energy used, estimated cost, current electricity price, and cycle count — so you can see exactly how much you’re saving over time.
Requirements
- Homey Pro (firmware ≥12.2.0)
- A smart plug with power measurement (e.g. Fibaro Wall Plug, Shelly Plug S, Neo Coolcam)

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome — this is the first release, so I’d love to hear how it works with your appliances!
