Agile alerts explained

Alerts are useful when they stop you checking the chart manually.

What alerts are for

Agile changes often enough that manual checking gets repetitive.

Use alerts for specific triggers: tomorrow’s prices, a slot below your threshold, a negative price, or a usable cheap window for a task.

The goal is not more notifications. The goal is fewer manual checks.

Tomorrow prices alert

A tomorrow-ready alert is useful when you plan appliances, EV charging, or battery charging the evening before.

Once tomorrow's prices are available, you can check the shape once and make a plan.

Threshold alert

A threshold alert works best when you already know the price you care about.

  • alert me below 10p/kWh
  • alert me below 5p/kWh
  • alert me below 0p/kWh

Cheapest window alert

A window alert is better when duration matters.

A washing machine, dishwasher, EV charge, or battery charge often needs several half-hour slots in a row. A single cheap slot may not be enough. Window alerts focus on usable blocks, not just isolated lows.

Avoid alert noise

Better alerts are tied to real actions:

  • charge the car
  • run the dishwasher
  • heat water
  • charge the battery
  • check tomorrow's plan
