Smart home appliances have become integrated into Filipino households as it offers not only convenience but also energy efficiency amid the rising electricity costs. But what if there was a smarter way to maximize the benefits of your connected devices without surprising bills?
Leading home solutions brand Midea is taking smart living to the next level with the Midea SmartHome app, an easy-to-use platform designed to make home control simple, accessible, and all in one place. Engineered for ultimate versatility, the app is compatible with all Midea smart appliances, while also seamlessly connecting with non-Midea smart devices to keep your entire home synchronized and, most importantly, energy-efficient.
Here are 5 ways to save energy and take control of your home with the Midea SmartHome App:
Master your home energy with a unified dashboard
With one connected system, mastering your home energy is now possible with the Midea SmartHome app. Instead of managing appliances separately, everything works together in a single dashboard for easier control.
To maximize your savings, you can easily navigate to the “Energy” tab directly from the app’s home screen. This opens the Smart Energy Management dashboard, giving you simple, visual insights into your daily consumption trends. From here, you can tap individual appliance icons, such as your air conditioner or refrigerator, to view detailed, real-time power metrics.
By monitoring which devices consume the most power during peak hours, you can use the quick-toggle controls to adjust temperatures or switch heavy loads to low-power settings instantly, keeping your home energy efficient with just a few taps.
Set monthly energy goals
Let artificial intelligence handle the complexity of electricity savings. The built-in AI ECOMASTER features scan multi-dimensional data like localized weather forecasts and your personal usage habits to automatically optimize compressor and fan speeds. According to SGS verification, it delivers up to 30% extra energy savings over standard inverter operations. Users can leverage these insights to set their monthly energy targets and let smart automation adjust appliance settings automatically to prevent exceeding those bounds.
Schedule usage wisely
Timing is everything when it comes to power consumption. Through the app’s Smart Scenes & Scheduling function, you can create autonomous daily routines that match your family’s lifestyle. You can program your appliances to turn on at a preset time or manage high-power devices to run strictly during off-peak hours. Moreover, with integrated location-based services, you can set a virtual boundary around your home, allowing the app to detect when your smartphone exits the area, which can instantly turn off idling devices. This advanced “Leave Home” feature ensures your home dynamically responds to your movements, helping you avoid wasted energy.
Monitor your usage in real time
The app gives you visualized insights, showing how much energy your home is using. With daily, weekly, and monthly views plus budget alerts, you’ll get notified before you go over your limit and avoid staggering bills.
Simply open the app’s Smart Energy Management dashboard and tap on the “Budget Target” icon. From there, enter your preferred monthly maximum consumption limit, either in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or your estimated currency cost value based on your local utility tariff rate. Once saved, you can toggle on the automatic reminder switch and specify your warning threshold rate. The app will continuously track your real-time data against this benchmark and push instant, automatic smartphone notifications the moment your home approaches that consumption cap, keeping you actively protected from budget overruns.
Activate i-ECO Mode for heavy stretches
For long stretches of appliance use, especially during high-temperature conditions, the app grants one-tap access to i-ECO Mode, adjusting your appliance settings for lower energy use during extended operation. This feature ensures families are comfortable at home for hours while keeping electricity consumption in check and avoiding higher monthly bills.
“The Midea SmartHome app was built to give every Filipino family the tools, reliable technology, and intuitive experience they need to confidently take charge of their home expenses. We are fully committed to providing accessible innovations that turn small, everyday automated choices into sustainable, long-term savings,” shares Anna Marie Alejandro, General Manager of Concepcion Midea Inc., Philippines.
