As part of DEWA’s ‘Smart Living’ initiative, these features are accessible through the DEWA website and mobile app, available for both iOS and Android users. To utilize these tools, residents must first create a DEWA account.
Key Features:
- Away Mode: For those traveling, DEWA’s ‘Away Mode’ allows users to track their home’s utility consumption while they are away. This feature notifies homeowners of any unusual spikes in usage, helping to prevent unexpected high bills upon return. To activate this mode, a smart meter is required, which can be set up via the DEWA account.
- Consumption Assessment Tool: If residents notice an unexpected increase in electricity usage, the ‘Consumption Assessment Tool’ analyzes their consumption patterns and offers personalized recommendations for reducing energy use.
- High Water Usage Alert: To detect potential leaks, DEWA provides a ‘High Water Usage Alert’ system. This service sends notifications if the water meter records unusually high consumption over a 48-hour period, thereby allowing for early detection of issues like broken pipes or running toilets.
Residents are encouraged to keep their contact details updated with DEWA to ensure they receive timely alerts.
By leveraging these digital tools, Dubai residents can gain greater control over their utility expenses and promote more sustainable consumption practices.
