The Dynamic Assistant subscription enables the “Tariff Data Usage” optimization feature. Once you subscribe and add your tariff details to ViCare, the optimization automatically starts working in the background - no additional manual activation is needed.
Here’s how it impacts your system:
If you have a heat pump:
- The system adjusts heating operation based on electricity prices, meaning your heat pump runs more when energy is cheap and less when it's expensive.
- Despite these optimizations, your home’s comfort remains unchanged - the system ensures minimal temperature fluctuations.
If you have a battery storage system:
- In addition to storing solar energy, the battery can also charge from the grid when electricity prices are low, maximizing cost savings.
- This allows you to store cheap electricity and use it later when prices are high, reducing your overall grid consumption costs.
