Jousto Energy Hub — Start Smart. Automate Everything.
We’ve simplified home energy automation into three clear steps. Start with the Jousto Energy Hub, generate ready-to-paste YAML from our Genius chat, and if you get stuck, a vetted Fiverr expert can finish it for you.
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).
How it works
Connect the Hub
Plug in power + Ethernet. The Hub discovers your solar, battery, EV charger and smart devices.
Describe your automation
In the Genius, type what you want. It writes YAML and a step-by-step guide.
Paste the YAML
Load it into Home Assistant. Refresh. Toggle on. Done.
Popular automation recipes
A few prompts to try in the Genius right now.
