Home Energy

What it does

Home Energy renders an interactive appliance energy simulator UI inside MCP Apps-compatible hosts. Add your household appliances with their wattage (or amps + volts), then use per-appliance knobs — enabled/disabled, hours per day, duty cycle, start hour, quantity, and override watts — to model real-world energy scenarios. The app calculates per-appliance daily kWh, total daily kWh, average and peak watts, and a 24-hour aggregated load profile in real time.

Key features

• Interactive simulation UI with per-appliance knobs for enabled state, hours per day, duty cycle percent, start hour, quantity, and override watts
• Real-time calculations — daily kWh, total kWh, average watts, peak watts, and 24-hour load profile update live as you adjust controls
• MCP tool integration — get_appliance_simulation_state, set_appliance_simulation_controls, and reset_appliance_simulation_controls let AI models twist knobs server-side
• App launch tool (open_appliance_energy_app) opens the full interactive simulator in MCP Apps hosts
• WebSocket streaming pushes simulation updates in real time with tool-result hydration and polling fallback
