Electric Ireland Launches New Smarter Home Product

Electric Ireland has launched a new Smarter Home product.

The product will allow customers to control their heating, lights and immersion all from the palm of their hands via the Smart Home App available on smartphone and tablet.

Starting at €3.99 a month, appliances such as lights, washing machines, TVs and dishwashers can also be controlled via smart plugs.

There are two Smarter Home Bundles available to Electric Ireland customers:

• The Smarter Home Control Bundle includes two smart plugs that plug directly into a wall socket, letting you control your devices remotely, and a unique Smart Home app which lets you monitor usage and even predict future bills.


• The Smarter Home Comfort Bundle includes all of the above products along with a Nest or Climote heating control device which allows customers to control the heating remotely so Electric Ireland customers will never have to come home to a cold home again.

Jim Dollard, Executive Director, Electric Ireland, said: "Electric Ireland prides itself on being customer focused and always aims to provide simple energy solutions and great service to make life better for all its customers. We are committed to embracing and implementing the latest technologies in Irish homes and leading the way in residential innovations. There is much more to come in this area and Electric Ireland is excited to bring its customers on the Smarter Home journey."
