Fused spurs
Our fused spurs, powered by machine learning, automatically identify and eliminate the small power waste of your devices, reducing your carbon emissions and electricity bills.
Product information
Our fused spurs can be wall fitted with a regular 25 mm back box and are a direct replacement for standard fused connection units (FCUs). They'll be available to purchase late 2023.
Features
All our fused spurs are powered by machine learning technology. When you plug a device in, they automatically recognise this and begin to measure its energy use and carbon emissions.
All this data is then available to view on our online dashboard, known as our hub.
Our fused spurs have LED indicators, showing you the carbon intensity of your electricity, directly from the National Grid:
- When it’s green, this means your energy is mainly coming from renewable sources, like wind and solar.
- When it’s amber, your energy is a mix of renewable and non-renewable sources, like fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and oil) and nuclear energy.
- When it’s red, your energy is coming from non-renewable sources.
The light helps you consider when it’s best to have your devices switched on, to maximise your reduction in emissions.
Our fused spurs will automatically make rules to switch off your devices when you're not using them, after learning more about your day-to-day routine. If you need power outside of these times, just press the override button on your fused connection unit and you’ll be good to go for two hours.
Our fused spurs connect to your existing Wi-Fi network to operate and will still have power even if your internet goes down. They also have an inbuilt memory so that any rules that are usually applied will still work and they’ll continue to monitor your energy usage.
Ensuring your data is secure is a top priority, which is why our technology uses a combination of hardware-based and cloud encryption. We actively monitor and assess all security threats and encryption protocol developments, following the UK government’s Code of Practice for IoT (Internet of Things) Security.
We’re also part of the IoT Security Assured scheme and are Cyber Essentials PLUS certified.

Installation
For your safety, our switches must be installed by a competent person, in line with local building regulations. We recommend using a qualified electrician listed on the Registered Competent Person Electrical website.
If you don’t have an existing electrician, we can help you source one from our network of trained individuals.
Our technology
Our plug sockets and dashboard minimise your carbon emissions, helping you to achieve your net zero goals, whilst reducing your bills.
