Our Mission
At SmartWattFlow, we believe homeowners should be able to understand and validate their own energy automation. Our practical guides turn complex Home Assistant configurations into explicit requirements, steps, checks, and support boundaries.
Why Energy Automation Matters
Energy tariffs, electrified heating, solar generation, and flexible loads create useful measurement and scheduling problems. The technical barrier is connecting those inputs safely and checking what changed.
Our guides bridge this gap by providing:
- Configurations checked against documented normal and failure cases
- Clear, step-by-step instructions with annotated YAML and architecture diagrams
- Ready-to-use configurations and dashboard templates
- Home Assistant guidance with explicit entity and control requirements
- Troubleshooting guides for common issues
- Methods for measuring outcomes without promising a universal saving
Our Approach
Each supplied configuration goes through documented validation. Hardware- and provider-dependent behavior still needs to be checked in your own Home Assistant setup before control is enabled.
Our content is designed for homeowners who can follow technical steps, replace marked entity IDs, and test safely. Each product states its required sensors and controllable entities before purchase.
Meet the Creator
Thomas K.
Founder, SmartWattFlow
After spending countless hours figuring out smart home energy dashboards for my own home in Europe, I compiled the repeatable patterns, pitfalls, and tested configurations into guides designed to reduce trial and error.
My own setup is where I test the monitoring, dashboards, and automation patterns published here. My aim is to help other homeowners measure their energy use and make informed changes.
Continuous Improvement
The smart home landscape evolves rapidly. When Home Assistant changes affect supplied files, compatible revisions are covered for 24 months from purchase.
