How simpleSwitch Works for Multi-Family

Appliance to appliance share

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 for apartments or condos. Once the primary device is off, the secondary device automatically resumes, ensuring safe multi-family EV charging without panel upgrades.

Whole Home Circuit Share

simpleSwitch intelligently manages power across an entire unit. When total energy consumption reaches 80% of the panel’s capacity, it temporarily pauses the connected device, such as an appliance or EV charging station. Once overall consumption drops below 80%, the device automatically resumes operation, ensuring safe and efficient energy management for multi-unit buildings without 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.
2

Monitor Power Usage

simpleSwitch continuously tracks your panel’s or shared appliance energy usage in real-time by using internal or external power sensors, ensuring the safe operation of your added EV charger or high-power appliance.
3

Prioritize Appliances

When high power consumption is high in the panel or shared appliance, simpleSwitch automatically pauses the secondary device to avoid overload.
4

Seamless Power Restoration

Once high power consumption in the panel or shared appliance is lowered, simpleSwitch restores power to the secondary device after a brief delay, keeping your home running smoothly.
