igecos GmbH is an Austrian IoT start-up, offering solutions to make the installed smart-meters of Austrians even smarter, enabling them to utilize all the features of the smart-meter to save energy costs and use energy more intelligently.
Synopsis
The main product of igecos GmbH is a smart-meter IoT module which allows the suer to conect to their installed smart energy meter and read the current and historic energy usage. The module then provides locally generated graphs and options to automate other devices based on current energy usage or generation if a photovoltaic system is installed. The automations can control devices on various busses and interfaces. More details can be found on the igecos website.
There is also a second version of the module with a LoRa transmitter, allowing the module to be used in places where there is no Wifi or ethernet coverage or no socket where the smart meter is installed.
My work
My work consists primarily of writing the firmware for the my-ecos base module, including but not limited to the automation algorithms, smart meter communication, communication with the LoRa module, communication with external servers and services. Moreover I do quality assurance and test development for the igecos products as well as specifying implementation details for new features or for optimizations of existing ones.
