Schneider Home 17+

I do like the look and feel of the application. At present the AI device discovery is garbage. It had identified 4 AC units when I only have two. There is no way to merge or delete discovered devices. I do like the ability to add X-Series Matter enabled switches and outlets. My initial test ones work well. I plan on updating my entire home. I can’t speak to the solar integration yet since I have not added solar to my home, however I expect that will work well. My biggest issue is the “powered by sense” AI.

Schneider Home is a solid app for managing energy systems. Compared to SunPower, the user experience here is much more intuitive and streamlined. The layout is clean, and everything is easy to navigate without digging through menus or getting lost.

It’s clear a lot of thought went into making this app accessible for all users, whether you’re a tech-savvy energy enthusiast or just getting started with smart home energy systems. The app makes it simple to monitor and manage energy usage, and the responsiveness is top-notch.

I’d love to see even more advanced features added over time, but overall, Schneider Home makes energy management feel effortless. Highly recommend!

The app has some strong features, but one area where it falls short is in its notification system. Currently, the app does not send real-time push notifications. Instead, users only receive updates when they actively open the app which can be inconvenient for users who rely on real-time alerts to manage their energy usage effectively.

For example, if there’s a sudden power outage or a battery issue, the app won’t alert you immediately. This lack of active push notifications could lead to missed opportunities to maximize efficiency or respond to critical energy events.

Adding real-time notifications would greatly enhance the app’s functionality. Timely alerts for events like switching between energy sources, low battery levels, or grid disruptions would empower users to take immediate action. Customizable notification settings would also allow users to tailor alerts to their specific needs, ensuring they receive only the most relevant updates.

In its current state, the app requires users to check in manually, which can lead to missed opportunities or important updates. By addressing this limitation, the app could better meet user expectations and compete more effectively in its category.
