With spapilot, we think differently

With spapilot, we think differently

Spapilot is built on challenging the old “always-on” hot tub mindset.
Traditionally, people just leave their spa on 24/7 — wasting huge amounts of energy and money for convenience. We believe there’s a smarter way:
  • With spapilot, your spa only heats up when you actually need it.
  • Our features combine smart scheduling, live electricity prices, and goals so your spa is always ready when it matters — but never wastes energy when it doesn’t.
The result:
You get the same comfort, with dramatically lower costs — and make a real difference for the environment, every day you choose spapilot over “always on.”
We believe the future of spa living is smart, on-demand, and truly simple — and we want you to feel the difference, both on your energy bills and in everyday life.

Step by Step After Initial Setup

1. Open the Spapilot App

Open the Spapilot app on your mobile.

2. Go to “Cost Control” on the Home Screen

Tap on Cost Control from the home screen to set up all energy settings.

3. Configure Your Electricity Plan

a) Select your plan:
  • Hourly Price ("Spot"): The price changes every hour. Choose your country and zone (e.g., SE3, SE4).
  • Zone-Based Price: Enter fixed prices for different time blocks according to your contract (e.g., day/night rates).
  • Fixed Price: Enter your constant price per kWh.
b) Set your maximum price/kWh:
  • Type the highest price you agree to pay for heating (e.g., 1.00 SEK/kWh or €0.10/kWh).
    Tip: Never set zero—control is switched off and spa may not heat!
    The lowest allowed is 0.01 €/kWh in order to get Cost control to be active. (check your currency).

    c) (Optional) Add provider fee: If your contract has a fee per kWh, enter it here. Spapilot calculates total cost accordingly.

d) (Optional) Activate Peak Charge Mode:
If you have certain hours with extra fees (peak charges), select which hours Spapilot should avoid. This prevents expensive periods.

e) Set temperature and minimum alert:
  • Enter your target spa temperature.
  • Set a Min. Temperature Alert to get notified if water gets too cold.
f) Tap “Update” when done.

4. Create or Edit a Schedule in “Planner”

  • Go to the Planner tab in the app.
  • Select the days you want your spa heated (e.g., Monday–Sunday).
  • Choose for each day:
    • Full Day (heats at any hour if electricity is cheap enough; works like "Optimizer mode")
    • Specific Times (e.g., 5:00 PM–10:00 PM for evening baths)
  • Important: No matter which option you select, Spapilot never heats if the current electricity price is above your set maximum.
    It waits for prices to drop, saving you money.

5. Set Recurring Behavior ("Repeat")

  • Choose how often you want each schedule to repeat:
    • Weekly (every week, e.g., every Wednesday at 12:00)
    • Every other week (e.g., every other Friday)
    • Monthly (once per month)
  • Select whatever matches your bathing habits.

6. Save Your Settings

  • Tap Save or Apply when finished to update the schedule.

    Our recommendation:

    “Full Day” schedule with a max price for best control (With hourly spot prices), For the easiest setup and total freedom, we recommend you select Full Day for all days in your Planner and set a maximum electricity price per kWh that fits your budget. This ensures spapilot only heats your spa when the electricity price is below your limit — and you always have access to a ready spa, 24/7, every day of the week.
    How it works:
    Your spa will stay as warm as possible, as long as the current price is under your set max.
    You decide exactly what you’re willing to pay for comfort — no surprises, full control at all times.
    Example: Set your max price to e.g. 0.13 €/kWh (or 1.50 SEK/kWh, or your local rate). spapilot will heat only when prices are below this.

How to Edit a Schedule ("Planner")

  1. Remove current schedule:
    • Go to Planner.
    • Find the day schedule you want to change.
    • Tap the On/Off switch beside it so it becomes red (removing schedule)
    • Confirm “delete” when asked.
  2. Update your settings:
    • Scroll up to Cost Control to change temperature, max price, min-temperature alert, or plan.
  3. Then go to planner and create a new schedule:
    • Add a new schedule with your updated days, times, and repeat settings.
    • Tap Save.
