What is Solar Sense?

Solar Sense helps Homely make smarter optimisation decisions based on your solar setup.

If you have solar panels, Solar Sense lets Homely take that into account when optimising how your home uses energy. By understanding when your home is more likely to generate solar energy, Homely can better align optimisation with how your home actually works.

Solar Sense doesn’t connect to or control your solar system. Instead, it uses the details you share to make Homely more solar-aware - improving the quality of optimisation over time.

Solar Sense is part of Smart+, which means it’s focused on optimising intelligently, not promising specific savings.

What Solar Sense does

• Helps Homely optimise energy use based on your solar setup
• Takes likely solar generation into account when making decisions
• Works automatically once set up

What Solar Sense doesn’t do

• It doesn’t control your solar panels, inverter, or battery
• It doesn’t require live solar data
• It doesn’t guarantee savings

In short: Solar Sense helps Homely optimise with your solar in mind, rather than treating your home like it doesn’t have any.
