In fact, in my home, the electricity price exceeds 10,000 yen per month in winter, so I got a 500 yen point in early 2021.I would be more happy if the electricity price itself became cheaper, but considering that TEPCO has not distributed any points until now, it is a great deal.I was quite worried about the switching of the contract, but now after a year after the contract, I am really glad I changed it.
And what was more than expected in advance was the "au Denki" app.When the transition to "au Denki", the monthly meter reading slip is no longer posted on the home post, so no receipt is issued on paper.It is a dedicated app that replaces it, but this visual is elaborate and it is practical.
メイン画面電気利用量・料金の週単位グラフThe left image is the main screen of the app, and the right is the weekly use graph screen.On the main screen, the electricity price (not used) from the beginning of the month to the day before the application starts is displayed exactly, clearly indicating how much it has increased in one day.Also, if you go at this pace, you will predict how much the price will be at the end of the month.At this point, it is much more kind than paper meter.
Of course, just knowing the price may not mean that you can reduce the amount of electricity immediately, but I think it is meaningful.Even if you know that it is "300 yen per day for 9000 yen per month", if you see that it happened to be 272 yen in the summer, it will still reconsider the link between climate and electricity.But maybe it will affect the awareness of environmental issues.
The calculated usage and rates can be confirmed continuously in the app, and you can easily check the graph on the month and the previous year.What is this integration, it's a fitness tracker and it's interesting anyway.If I switch from "au Denki" to another new power company, I can't see this graph ...Here, I was already enclosed (laughs)
By the way, the Android version of the "au Denki" app is now distributed from the Google Play Store.You can get an app with a general Android smartphone without relying on au's unique app store.
