OZZI user guide

This guide explains how to set your electricity rate in the Shelly Smart Control app (either one fixed price per kWh, or different rates for different times of day) and how to export your consumption data to Excel. Setting the rate correctly is the foundation of smart energy management: it lets the smart energy meter and the smart relays in your smart home turn consumption data into a real cost in shekels, so you get an accurate picture of where you can save on electricity.

1. General settings

1

On the home screen, tap the energy icon (⚡) in the bottom menu.

2

In the tab bar at the top, tap the last tab, “Electricity Tariff”.

The tab bar: Real Time, History, Monthly Reports, Electricity Tariff

3

On the “Electricity Tariff” screen, open the “Bill Date” field, choose the day of the month your billing cycle starts (for example, 01), and tap “Save”.

4

Open the “Currency” field, choose ILS (shekel), and tap “Save”.

Optional

Check that the time zone under “Time Zone” is correct (Asia/Jerusalem). If it isn’t, tap “Auto-Detect Time Zone”.

2. Option A: one rate for all hours

Use this if you pay a fixed price per kWh, whatever the time of day.

5

Scroll down to the “Tariff” section and tap “Add Tariff”.

6

Give the tariff a name, enter the price per kWh (₪ / kWh), and tap “Save”.

That’s it. A single tariff automatically applies to every hour of every day, so there’s no need to set time intervals.

3. Option B: time-of-use rates

Use this if you pay different prices at different times of day, for example off-peak and peak hours.

7

Repeat “Add Tariff” for each price: for example, “Tariff 1” at one price and “Tariff 2” at another.

Scroll down to the “Intervals” section and tap “Add Time Interval”.

In the window that opens, choose which tariff the time interval belongs to, and select the days of the week it applies to (all days are selected by default).

Set the “Start Time” and “End Time” with the arrows, and tap “Save Time Interval”.

Repeat steps 8 to 10 to add another interval for the second tariff, until every hour of the day is covered (for example, Tariff 1 from 07:00 to 23:00 and Tariff 2 from 23:00 to 07:00).

4. Exporting the report to Excel

11

In the energy tab bar, switch to the “History” tab and choose the date range you want.

12

Tap the download icon in the corner of the “Total Energy” card, and the report file downloads to your device.

A correctly set electricity rate is part of managing a complete smart home: a smart energy meter tracks consumption in real time, smart relays let you run appliances during the cheaper rate hours, and the reports you get help you see where you can save on electricity.
