How the Mixergy app helps save you money

July 19, 2023

The Mixergy app is truly a game-changer when it comes to hot water management. Gone are the days of waiting endlessly for your hot water to heat up. With just a few taps on your smartphone, you can now have complete control over your Mixergy smart hot water cylinder through our app.

Not only does this save you time, but it also helps you save on your energy bills. By optimising your hot water usage and avoiding unnecessary wastage, you’ll see a noticeable reduction in your monthly expenses.

So whether you’re at home or on the go, the Mixergy app ensures that you have hot water when you need it.

Adjust the hot water temperature, set schedules, and even activate the boost function for a quick burst of hot water if you need it – all done via your phone.

But it doesn’t stop there…

Mixergy takes hot water management to the next level by harnessing the power of machine learning. With the use of advanced algorithms, Mixergy’s app can learn your hot water usage patterns and automatically adjust the temperature to ensure that hot water is always available when you need it.

We detail some of the innovative features of the Mixergy app. How many do you use and what’s your favourite?

1. See how much hot water you have

Always know whether you’ve got enough hot water for a shower, to fill the bath or just for some washing up – the exact level and temperature of your Mixergy cylinder can be seen at any time.

2. Give it a boost

There is no point heating the full cylinder if you just want to do the washing up, so heat just enough for what you need to use. If the time ever comes when you’re running a bit low, simply boost your hot water level anywhere from 1-100% of total volume at the slide of a button.

3. Build your perfect hot water schedule

Choose exactly how much water you want, and at what time of any day – setting your own planned schedule couldn’t be more easy. You can also tweak it at any time – even when you’re away from home.

4. Track your energy usage

See how much you spend on hot water across gas and electric, with no more guesswork. By inputting your tariff rate, you can see the cost estimation for selected dates.

5. Hot water usage over time

How many litres of water have you used in the past month, or in the past 7 days? Access to this data is all in your app and is also shown graphically so you can spot the days where you’re using the most.

6. Holiday mode

Save energy whilst you are away from home and schedule your holidays in advance. Your Mixergy cylinder will go dormant for the time you’re away, before powering up upon your return, saving energy and making sure you have hot water so you can have a nice hot bath or shower when you get home.

7. Voice control integration

Mixergy is compatible with Amazon Alexa voice assistant and Google voice control. So, if you have an Amazon smart home device in your home, you can ask “Alexa, how much hot water have I got in my Mixergy tank?” or “Alexa, boost Mixergy tank to 50%”. It really is that simple!

8. Access machine learning schedules

If you’re unsure what settings to make, take the need for building a personal schedule out of the equation and use our machine learning mode and let it ‘learn’ your usage patterns. The ‘Standard’ option refines your profile conservatively, and the ‘economy’ mode optimises your schedule for the lowest possible cost of operation. Change the settings whenever you need to.

9. Be a ‘Mixergy Hero’

Enable grid assistance (and save the planet by using more low-carbon energy) and you join Mixergy’s most exclusive club. The Mixergy Hero scheme allows you to see in real-time the network generation mix and carbon intensity forecast from the national grid, allowing you to plan to use energy when it is at its cleanest. We love our Mixergy Heroes!

10. Swap energy sources

Programme your cylinder to heat with different energy sources at different times of the day. Including using your cheaper rate electricity, in the middle of the night or using your green solar energy that was generated during that glorious sunny day. There’s a setting to swap between them at times to suit you.

We are constantly updating our app to add new features and improve the existing ones. To make sure you keep up-to-date with all the exciting features, always keep your Mixergy app updated to the latest version.

The Mixergy app is available for both Apple and Android devices.
