The Astute device connects to your Wi-Fi router. Using the router, the Astute device creates a bridging link between the CBI cloud and your smartphone. This allows your smartphone to adjust schedules and settings on the Astute device, and switch appliances on and off from anywhere.
The Astute device continues to execute pre-scheduled, automated actions – switching appliances on and off even if there is no Wi-Fi.
How do Astute devices help me to manage electricity load?
You can manage your energy output by scheduling when high energy powered appliances should switch on and off to avoid peak hours.
Turning appliances off during peak hours, or when they won’t be used, will reduce your electricity cost, as well as protect appliances from electrical surges as a result of load shedding.
What does each Astute product do?
Controlled directly from a smartphone or tablet using the CBI Home App, the Astute Range monitors, control, and schedules power supply at the touch of a button.
