How does it work?

is 2 units that communicate wirelessly: 1 metering unit and 1 base station.

Download the user program from the youbegreen.nl website onto your computer. Place the metering unit on our electricity meter and connect the base station to the USB-port of your computer. That’s all!

The metering data is automatically read from your electricity meter and sent to the base station. Using the user program, you can monitor and manage your energy consumption.

Plug & Play.


The user program

The user program is a user-friendly, uncomplicated interface that visualizes and manages your energy consumption.

What does it do?

Basic features: • Automatic reading of your energy meter • Actual and historical visualization of your energy consumption • Real-time budget monitoring • Send the metering data to your utilty company (only if you want to, no backdoors!)

• Compete with family, friends, colleagues, neighbors (or whoever) in the YouBeGreen Challenge (who is the energy saving champion?)

Know your energy consumption.


Your energy consumption

The metering unit uses the optical interface available on modern energy meters to obtain the actual meter reading. The collected data is automatically sent to the base station wirelessly and securely. Your user program presents the energy consumption (in Watt-hours or money) on your computer.

Budget monitoring

Enter your target energy budget into the user program, in money or watts. If the light on your base station is green, so are you. If you’re closing in on your budget the light will change to orange. Put in some effort and it’ll turn green again. If you don’t, the light will turn red (you’ve exceeded your budget). Conveniently, the base station also works stand-alone, so you can place it anywhere in your home.
