Turn your Android tablet into a P1 energy display as well as a smart internet assistant
PowerFlow is the new smart assistant that transforms your Android tablet into a powerful, multifunctional info screen. The Android app is
PowerFlow works like a desktop smart display, similar to Amazon Alexa or Google Nest Hub, and with lots of features. For example, you view accurate weather forecasts via TAB Weather, play videos or music in the background via TAB
In addition, the handy Ticker button lets you follow live RSS feeds such as news, weather, sports results or stock market info.
In short: PowerFlow turns any Android tablet into a personal, interactive and informative dashboard screen. To use TAB Dashboard with your own energy data, you need a 2-WIRE web server (LoWi3, ReMI or ELAN) and MQTT account; all other features are available completely free to anyone who installs the app.
Set 3xSmartPlug + 1 year license MQTT for 1 installation
With the set 3xSmartPlug + 1 year license MQTT for 1 installation in combination with an ELAN or ReMI, you turn your plug-in water heater into a smart water battery, your plug-in electric supplemental heating(s) become especially active in the in-between seasons, and you get visibility into yield and consumption of your plug-in battery and/or plug-in solar panels.
And all that without any cutting or breaking and using your existing appliances. You can then monitor the effect on your own consumption of solar energy live on the web page of your web server or via the PowerFlow app.

Fig. In the figure above, the DETAILS page of a ReMI web server. Of the solar energy yield, 900kWh in April 2025, 300 kWh were injected into the grid, a self-consumption of >65% using 3 smart plugs connected to an existing electric water heater and 2 electric heaters. On an annual basis with this control (3x If Then Else), the self-consumption in this installation increased by about 35%. Until today, with 24 panels about 6500 kWh of solar energy was produced, so about 2200 kWh more self-consumption, at 40 cents easily a savings of almost 900 euros in early November 2025. And that’s without taking into account the reduced consumption of heating oil and still 2 months to go for a full year. A small investment with a nice result, year after year.
