How this automation works
Get notified by email when your local electricity has the lowest CO2 intensity within a specified time window. This Applet runs when Watts detects the lowest emission period between your chosen start and end times and sends you an update via Gmail. It's perfect for users who want to schedule their power use for the most eco-friendly hours. Customize the message to fit your tone.
