How Pulsar Works
Pulsar operates on a simple yet powerful principle: use energy when it's cheapest. This is achieved through a fully automated three-step process designed to maximize your savings with minimal effort.
1. Data Ingestion
Pulsar continuously fetches real-time electricity market prices, capturing data in 15-minute intervals to get a high-resolution view of cost fluctuations throughout the day.
2. Intelligent Optimization
Our core algorithm analyzes this price data against your appliance's unique requirements—like total run time and 'must-run' windows—to calculate the most cost-effective schedule.
3. Automated Control
Finally, Pulsar seamlessly integrates with your linked smart devices (like eWeLink plugs) to automatically execute the optimized schedule, turning appliances on and off to maximize your savings.
Core Features
Dynamic Cost Savings
Analyzes 15-minute interval market price data to identify the absolute cheapest times to run appliances.
Intelligent Optimization
Calculates the optimal schedule based on required duration, mandatory run times, and even advanced "keep-alive" settings for appliances like freezers.
Full User Control
Users can define strict "must-run" windows, ensuring appliances are on when needed, while still optimizing the remaining flexible time.
Third-Party Integrations
Connects directly with smart device platforms like eWeLink to send on/off commands, turning the optimized schedule into reality.
