If the CO2 level measured in grams per kWh is low, then now you can automatically start your washing machine if it is compatible with IFTTT. You need to create a profile on the IFTTT app or the website ifttt.com. IFTTT stands for If This Then That. In plain English, this means that if the CO2 level per kWh is low, for instance, then the washing machine should start.
Examples
You can start your washing machine when the power is produced with low CO2 emissions per kWh. The washing machine must be compatible with the IFTTT system. For example, this is possible with models from Samsung and Whirlpool.
The dishwasher can also be started while you are away and be finished when you get home. At the same time, you know that it will first start washing when your power has low CO2 emissions. The dishwasher only needs to be compatible with IFTTT.
Lightbulbs or plugs that are smart and compatible with IFTTT are, for example, those from IKEA or Phillips Hue. They can also be set up to turn on when the power is produced with a low CO2 footprint.
Robot vacuum cleaners or robot lawnmowers can also be conveniently connected to Watts and IFTTT, so you know that you only charge your robots with power when it affects the climate as little as possible.
