SMART ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Efficiency that
works quietly.

Not a dashboard you have to check. A system that connects consumption with the way a building is used — finding waste and responding quietly in the background.

PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE

Energy doesn’t
work in isolation.

Every other system feeds it real-time data. Climate reports which rooms are in use. Shading reports how much heat load the sun is adding. Lighting reports which spaces are empty. Energy management is what turns all of that information into fewer wasted kilowatts, without you lifting a finger.

HOW IT WORKS

Measure. Understand.
Respond.

01

Measure the right loads

Selected meters reveal where electricity and other utilities are being used.
02

Bring the data together

Compatible interfaces deliver readings to the Miniserver.
03

Act on the information

Configured logic coordinates flexible loads with occupancy, solar surplus or a supported tariff schedule.
START WITH THE MEASUREMENT

Three ways to
measure consumption.

Which method is right depends on your on-site conditions — what the cabling looks like, and exactly what needs to be measured. We assess this during consultation and specify accordingly.
METHOD
HOW IT WORKS
WHERE IT FITS
Direct measurement
A meter connects directly to the circuit or device — no additional sensors or current transformers required. The simplest, most precise method where wiring allows for it.
Best for: individual circuits or devices in homes and small offices.
Indirect measurement
Current transformers measure the current in a conductor without interrupting the circuit — used when direct measurement isn’t practical, or when higher currents are involved.
Best for: larger installations, industrial settings, or big consumers like wallboxes.
Reading via interfaces
Data is collected and transmitted from existing meters through the Miniserver’s interfaces — Modbus TCP/RTU, infrared, M-Bus, or DSMR P1 — without replacing what’s already installed.
Best for: retrofits where an existing meter can simply be read, not replaced.
BEYOND THE OBVIOUS

It catches what a bill
never shows you.

A monthly bill tells you what you spent. It never tells you why — which appliance is quietly running all day, which room is being cooled for no one, which meter reading spiked overnight. Grapes energy management surfaces that detail in real time, connected directly to the systems causing it.

Combined with climate and lighting automation, most clients see a measurable drop in usage — not from sacrificing comfort, but from eliminating waste they never knew was happening.

THE DETAILS THAT MATTER

Key features of intelligent
energy management.

01

Real-Time Monitoring

Live consumption data across every meter, updated continuously, visible in one app.
02

Per-Device Tracking

Smart sockets isolate exactly which appliance is driving consumption up.
03

Multi-Utility Reading

Electricity, gas, and water consumption unified in a single monitoring view.
04

Automatic Threshold Alerts

Set optimal consumption thresholds and get notified the moment something exceeds them.
05

Solar PV Compatibility

Works alongside solar installations to optimise self-consumption and reduce grid draw.
06

Occupancy-Based Savings

Consumption data cross-referenced with presence sensors to eliminate waste automatically.
07

Predictive Adjustment

Weather information can inform scheduled loads and comfort settings within the agreed control strategy.
08

Historical Reporting

Track consumption trends over weeks and months to see the real impact of automation.

APPROVED PROJECT COLLECTION

Masnawi’s house

Explore the project photographs with our team to discuss which ideas are suitable for your property.

Living in a smart home has made everyday life so much easier. From lights that respond automatically to our presence, to curtains, security, and music that work together seamlessly, everything feels effortless.

My favourite feature is Night Mode. With everything taken care of automatically, I can simply relax knowing the house is ready for the night.

The best part is having everything in one app. It’s simple, convenient, and something my whole family enjoys.

E-MOBILITY, HANDLED

You’ve got enough to
do. We charge your car.

Your car charges automatically — as efficiently as possible, or as fast as needed. Whether it’s one wallbox at home or several across a commercial facility, charging is coordinated automatically, using surplus solar generation first wherever it’s available.
WHAT GOES INTO IT

The right components,
thoughtfully connected.

These are the technology choices behind the experience. The final specification follows the property, equipment and scope of work.

A COORDINATED SPECIFICATION

Compatible meters.
One dashboard.

Existing analogue meters, digital meters, solar inverters, or entirely new installations — energy monitoring integrates into the same intelligent system, whether it’s a retrofit or built in from day one.

Equipment and integration routes are assessed against the project brief before confirmation.

SIMPLE OPERATION

One glance. Total clarity.

Grapes systems are deliberately designed for ease of use. Open the Loxone app and see exactly what’s consuming energy, where, and why — no spreadsheets, no separate monitoring accounts. Your consumption data lives alongside every other system, in one place.
WHERE IT FITS

Measured efficiency
for every kind of space.

01

Residential

Real-time visibility into what’s actually consuming power at home — and automatic elimination of the waste you’d never notice.
02

Commercial

Facility-wide consumption data that turns an abstract utility bill into a clear, actionable ROI conversation.
03

Hospitality

Per-room consumption tracking that identifies savings across dozens of units without compromising guest comfort.
PUTTING EFFICIENCY IN CONTEXT

Begin with your own building.

Meter the important loads. Identify avoidable operation. Measure what changes.

Loxone’s energy page states that buildings account for 44% of global energy consumption, describes 50% of that energy as wasted, and cites average savings of 30% through its approach. These are manufacturer-published claims, not measurements from Grapes projects or a forecast for a Malaysian property.

The page does not provide a calculation baseline for applying these figures to your project. Any projected saving needs a building-specific assessment.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Energy, answered.

Do I need to replace my existing electricity meter?

Not necessarily. An IR meter reader can read compatible meters with a supported optical interface. We check the existing meter model before specifying it.

Can this work alongside my solar panels?

Yes. Compatible solar PV interfaces can be brought into energy monitoring to help optimise self-consumption and reduce how much you draw from the grid.

How much can I realistically save?

The useful starting point is your own consumption baseline. Lighting, cooling and other loads are then coordinated around occupancy and use, with results measured against that baseline.

Can I monitor gas and water, not just electricity?

Yes. The M-Bus Extension reads up to 30 compatible meters, covering gas and water alongside electricity, all visible in the same view.

Will I get alerts if consumption spikes unexpectedly?

Yes. You can set optimal consumption thresholds and receive notifications the moment something exceeds them — useful for catching faulty appliances early.

Can the system automatically use dynamic electricity pricing?

Where the property is on a suitable time-of-use tariff, configured schedules can shift compatible flexible loads into the appropriate periods. A live variable-price service requires a supported data feed. We use the actual account tariff; automatic TNB data integration is not assumed.

I have an old electricity meter. Can it still be integrated?

We first identify the meter and its available interface. If it cannot be read directly, suitable additional metering can be specified. The method and installation work depend on the circuit and the information required.

Is there an ongoing subscription cost?

Core local automation has no mandatory monthly subscription. Optional online services, third-party subscriptions and separately agreed support are considered individually.
