Artificial Intelligence: Engineer develops software to reduce electricity bills by 92%
Pierre Vaugrenard, editor at The Review Quest since 2022
Tired of paying electricity bills that cost an arm and a leg every month? Would you rather put that money elsewhere without changing your habits? If so, look no further, because a little genius has come up with a legal solution to drastically reduce your electricity bills.
We were lucky enough to interview him exclusively at The Review Quest on his return from Silicon Valley. In this article you'll discover how to reduce your electricity bills drastically and legally.
Who is Rémy, the Swiss genius who invented an algorithm to lower his electricity bills?
Rémy is the kind of kid like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates or Elon Musk. Graduating two years ahead of his peers in engineering, he's off to Silicon Valley early in 2020 to found the next startup to revolutionize his industry.
Once there, he came across a study by Harvard scientists explaining that more than 90% of electricity consumed and paid for by households is useless. In fact, all electrical appliances, from household appliances to lamps, consume much more than they should in order to function normally.
And that's when Rémy had the genius idea: Software that analyzes and distributes electricity optimally. He set up his algorithm and incorporated it into a box to be plugged into an electrical outlet... the result was amazing: 92% reduction on his electricity bill without changing a single one of his habits.
He then set up his own company, SmartEnergy, and began marketing his box in the United States.
Three months later, it's a real hit. First in Nevada, then in Texas and finally in Arizona, this smart box is the talk of the town, enabling thousands of households to reduce their electricity consumption without changing their habits.
What is this 92% electricity-saving box?
This is what the SmartEnergy box looks like. It's a small box that plugs into any electrical outlet. The advantage is that anyone can use it, whether in an apartment, a house or a mobile home. All you need is an available electrical outlet.
Once plugged in, the box will immediately detect electrical appliances and analyze their consumption. Once the analysis is complete (it takes less than an hour), the algorithm inside the box will distribute power to all electrical appliances in an ultra-optimized way.
This optimized distribution reduces wasted electricity by 92%.
How does it work exactly?
Here are the instructions:
1. Find an unused socket outlet
2. Plug SmartEnergy into socket
3. Leave the SmartEnergy box plugged into the socket 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. save up to 92% on your electricity bill without changing your consumption habits
If you want to change its location, simply unplug it and plug it back into the desired socket. It's as simple as that.
PS: detailed instructions are supplied with the product.
How much money can you save with SmartEnergy?
To answer this question, we had the SmartEnergy box installed in two different homes and compared the electricity bills from one month to the next.
First test: 55m² apartment for two people (a couple):
Average bill over last 12 months (before installation) : 122€
Average bill after 3 months of use : 21 (82% discount)
Average annual savings : 1200€
Second test: 145m² house for five people (two parents and three children):
Average bill over last 12 months (before installation) : 355€
Average bill after 3 months of use : 42€ (91% discount)
Average annual savings : 3566€
In short, it's difficult to estimate precisely in advance how much money the SmartEnergy box could save you, because we all have different homes and different electrical installations.
But what is certain is that in 100% of cases, the box saves money. In the worst case, savings are around 80%, and in the best case they can even exceed 90%.
One last thing to know. Under 70m², a single SmartEnergy box is sufficient, but over 70m² of living space, it's advisable to accumulate SmartEnergy boxes so that the algorithm can detect all appliances.
Is it dangerous? Is it legal?
As mentioned above, the box optimizes electricity distribution, preventing unnecessary energy from being consumed. This is not an electric meter modifier. If it weren't legal, the company wouldn't be allowed to market its box anyway.
The box is therefore 100% legal and risk-free. You have every right to buy it. If for any reason you no longer wish to use it, simply unplug it.
As you'd expect, electricity suppliers don't take kindly to this box being put on the market, so they'll do what they can to make sure you don't hear about it. But there's nothing they can do to legally prevent you from owning this box and saving money with it.
What is the price and delivery time?
The company has announced a retail price of €99 for its SmartEnergy box. A price that may seem expensive at first glance, but it's worth it in the long run, because once installed, it will save you money every month. For most households, the box pays for itself in just 2 months.

Here's what they had to say about SmartEnergy
"I'm still stunned by the effectiveness of this little box. I still don't understand why it's not better known than it is, I'd never heard of it before I bought it. I've only been using SmartEnergy for a month, but I've already cut my bill by more than half since last month. It's really incredible, thanks to SmartEnergy I'm able to put aside almost €50 every month, and in less than a month I've made my purchase pay for itself" - Agathe, 44 years old
"I have a friend at EDF so I already knew that electricity and gas suppliers took a big mark-up, but at this point I would never have suspected. Now, with just one SmartEnergy box, I've cut my bill by 88% compared with before, and a friend of mine who bought one has cut his by 90%. I think it's really crazy, and I'm talking about it all around me so that people can take advantage of it too." - Jean-Marc, 61 years old
"If I had to recommend just one product this year, it would definitely be the SmartEnergy box. It paid for itself in less than a month with the savings we made, and even now that electricity is cheaper, we can afford to consume more than before." - Nathalie, 35 years old
Conclusion: what should we think of this magic box that allows everyone to reduce their bills?
Like it or not, the SmartEnergy box is a real thunderbolt in the world of energy. It's safe to assume that within the space of a few months, everyone will be equipping themselves and making huge savings (which won't please the market giants at all).
In our opinion, it's a very good product, and we can only congratulate Rémy on his ingenuity, which is enabling thousands of households to save money without changing their consumption habits.
