YourEnergy: Smart Home Management
An innovative smart home application that integrates with smart meters to provide real-time usage insights and carbon footprint tracking.
The story
behind it
Workholo worked with ScottishPower to build an industry-leading utility app that moves beyond billing. YourEnergy allows users to monitor their live energy spend, manage smart home devices, and optimize their consumption for both cost and environmental impact.
What stood in the way
Integrating with the national Smart Meter infrastructure (DCC) while handling massive data throughput was the primary hurdle. The app needed to process billions of data points daily while maintaining a fast, responsive user experience.
How we made it happen
Workholo developed a native mobile suite using Swift and Kotlin, backed by an AWS IoT Core infrastructure. The solution includes real-time data streaming, predictive cost algorithms, and a seamless billing integration via a modern API gateway.
