Know when your prepaid electricity will run out

Log the meter now and then. HeyKit works out your daily use and when you'll need to buy more.

With a prepaid meter, the only warning you usually get is the beeping, or the lights going off at dinner time. HeyKit gives you a better one. Log the units left on your meter every so often, and HeyKit works out how much you use a day and roughly when you'll run out, and shows it where the family will see it.

Readings in, forecast out

Log your meter reading, the units left, whenever you think of it. HeyKit uses your readings to work out your average daily use and roughly when you'll run out.

Purchases picked up from your expenses

When you log an electricity expense with the units you bought, HeyKit picks those units up automatically, so the forecast accounts for top-ups without a separate step.

Shown where you'll notice it

Just ask

Ask HeyKit "how long will the electricity last?" and get the answer from your latest readings.

History of readings and purchases

Every reading and every purchase is kept in the app, so you can look back at what you logged and what you bought.

In practice

What you can do with this

Buying before the weekend

Thursday's glance at Home says you'll run out around Saturday. Buy units on the way home instead of hunting for a vendor on Saturday night.

The weekly email

The weekly summary email includes the electricity forecast, so you see roughly when the units will run out alongside everything else in the week ahead.

The whole family in the loop

The forecast on the kitchen frame means everyone can see when units are getting low, not just whoever checks the meter.
