Appliance to appliance share – How it works
simpleSwitch intelligently manages power between two appliances. When the primary device is in use (like your oven or HVAC), it temporarily pauses the secondary device (such as an EV charger). Once the primary device is off, the secondary device automatically resumes.
Whole Home Circuit Share – How it works
simpleSwitch intelligently manages power across your entire home. When total energy consumption reaches 80% of your panel’s capacity, it temporarily pauses the connected device (such as an EV charger). Once overall consumption drops below 80%, the device automatically resumes operation. This ensures safe, efficient energy use without the need for panel upgrades.
How It Works
Smart energy management in 4 simple steps:
-
1
Install simpleSwitch
Connect simpleSwitch between your electrical panel and high-power appliances like EV chargers. No need for a panel upgrade or complicated wiring.

-
3
Prioritize Appliances
