Connect the WiFi Switch to your mini PV system or a comparable device. In the myStrom app, tap on the WiFi Switch and activate the Solar/Power Production option under Settings. From now on, the WiFi Switch measures the feed-in of the connected panel. Attention: Your old consumption data will be lost. You can measure and track your electricity production with the detailed analysis functions of the myStrom Cockpit, which you can use via mystrom.ch > Login in any web browser.

You can find the Energy Consumption and related Costs in the “Evaluation” Section of the WiFi Switch in the myStrom App.

Use the “Schedule”, “Power Savers” and “Timer” functions to optimize switching on and off hours and reduce the energy consumption and related costs.

Please refer to the website of your Electricity Provider. Enter the applicable tariffs in the “Evaluation” section of the myStrom App in order to get a cost estimate as close as possible to reality.

Smart Meters are usually installed in the electrical box or in the basement and help you better understand your total energy consumption. This information is mostly useful for Utility companies, allowing them to better plan and control their energy production.
As a customer, thanks to Smart Metering, you can get to know the total energy consumption of your home – and this can help you adapt your behaviour by allowing you to personally exercise influence on the devices in your household.
The limits of Smart Metering lie exactly there – it does not include any automatisms for switching on and off times that can contribute to savings.
You just need to configure your myStrom WiFi Switches once and the savings will happen automatically. Thanks to the myStrom App you have location- and time-independent control over all devices connected to your Switches.

WiFi Switches can make believe that someone is in your house when you’re away. – This is the proven best way to prevent break-ins. You just need to connect one or several lamps to your Switches then activate the “Vacation Mode”. This will switch the lamps connected to the myStrom Switches randomly on and off during the evening and the night.

Unplug your WiFi Switch from the wall socket and plug it in again. The Switch should now be discoverable.

If this does not work, please reset the WiFi Switch:
– Press the “+” button on the Switch for 10 seconds
– Wait until the LED on the Switch blinks in red
– Follow the installation instructions in the myStrom App again

Please use the contact form on the support overview page here on this website. One of our specialists will contact you as soon as possible.

You should avoid the switching on and off of running desktop computers because this can damage hard drives, which can lead to loss of data.
Avoid switching off your WLAN Router/Gateway because it will switch your WLAN network off completely.
Avoid switching on and off appliances that require a constant electricity supply to function – e.g. refrigerators.
