Nature Co., Ltd.
Eco-friendly automatic control of EcoCute based on predictions of solar power generation! Realize energy management that coexists with nature with “Nature Remo E”!
~Nature Green paid option 2nd “EcoCute Automation”~
……
Nature Co., Ltd. (location: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative Director: Harumi Shiode, hereinafter referred to as “Nature”), whose mission is “driving in symbiosis with nature,” will provide software services on Tuesday, December 5, 2023. We have released “EcoCute Automation,” a paid option for “Nature Green” that costs 300 yen per month (tax included). The amount of power generated by sunlight is predicted based on past power generation amounts, weather records, and weather forecasts, and the smartphone HEMS “Nature Remo E” automatically switches the EcoCute boiling time between day and night. ), realizing an improvement in the
self-consumption rate of electricity.

■Update overview
We have released the paid option “EcoCute Automation” for “Nature Green”, making the operation of “Nature Remo E” EcoCute even more convenient. We have introduced solar power generation forecasts based on past power generation/weather performance and weather forecasts, and are now able to automatically switch the boiling time for hot water. If sufficient power is expected to be generated the next day, minimize heating at night that day and use the electricity generated at home during the daytime the next day to heat the water. By monitoring on rainy days, you can set the amount of hot water to boil during the day and avoid running out of hot water the next morning. The power generation amount is predicted based on the weather forecast for your home location or the city/town/village you select, and the weather information is quoted from “Apple Weather (*1)”. To
commemorate the release, you can try “EcoCute Automation” for free until the end of March 2024.
■Five functions of “EcoCute Automation” added in this update 1. Switching between “aggressive shift” and “low-key shift” shift mode “Active Shift”: If the weather forecast for the next day is sunny or cloudy, we will minimize boiling at night and use solar power to heat the water during the day as much as possible. If the amount of electricity generated is insufficient, the remaining amount of water will be boiled using electricity from the power company. In the case of rain, boiling control will not be performed at night.
“Moderate Shift”: If the weather forecast for the next day is sunny, boiling water will be heated during the day using solar power, minimizing heating at night. If the amount of electricity generated is insufficient, the remaining amount of water will be boiled using electricity from the power company. In case of cloudy or rainy weather, boiling control will not be performed at night.
2. Rainy day monitoring
If the forecast predicts rain or cloudy weather and the amount of solar power generated exceeds the amount you have set, you can use that power to heat the water during the day. You can also set the monitoring time yourself.
3. Graph display of next day’s solar power generation forecast Displays solar power generation forecast, weather, and EcoCute’s power consumption in an easy-to-understand graph.
4. Setting the amount of hot water needed in the morning
You can set the amount of hot water used in the morning by selecting from 0, 1, or 2. Always boil the water to the set amount at night to avoid running out of hot water the next morning. If the amount of hot water exceeds the set amount, heating will not be performed at night. 5. Setting the daytime boiling start time and maximum boiling water amount On days when nighttime boiling is suppressed, daytime boiling will start when electricity is sold in excess of EcoCute’s power
consumption or at the set start time. In addition, during the daytime, the water will be heated until the maximum amount of water selected from “3, 4, Full” is reached.
