Jousto Energy Hub and automations
Built on Home Assistant Jousto Smarter Energy for Everyone

Your path to a truly smart energy home

From zero to automated in three simple steps — hardware, automations, and optional expert help.

Step 1 — Jousto Energy Hub

The Hub is your always-on energy brain. It connects solar, battery, EV, heat pump and smart plugs and runs our best-practice automations for Aussie homes.

Step 2 — Home Assistant Genius

Describe the automation you want (“charge EV from solar above 2 kW, pause on clouds, resume at 11am”). The Genius returns the exact YAML + step-by-step setup.

Step 3 — Expert help (optional)

Stuck? We’ve partnered with a vetted pool of Home Assistant experts on Fiverr. Share your YAML and brief; they’ll implement and polish.

Type your goal → Get YAML + instructions

Paste the YAML into Home Assistant and refresh. Our Genius also prints step-by-step instructions and checks common pitfalls.

Tip: Keep your device/entity names handy (e.g., sensor.solar_export_power, switch.pool_pump, climate.lounge_ac).
