Cape Town
"It’s nice to be able to set a schedule for when you need hot water. It’s also cool that you can change this kind of setting through the app, being able to check on it remotely and control your geyser from your phone is a win."

Pretoria
"Honestly, the best part is I don’t even have to think about my geyser anymore. HotBot just sorts it out, saves me money, and I still have hot water whenever I need it. Super convenient. I’m 100% getting a SolarBot as well."

Western Cape
"I felt like a technological dinosaur, but Plentify has just taken control of all my worries. I have absolutely no concerns about when the geyser is going to be hot. It’s becoming something I don’t have to think about, I know it’s taken care of and happening on its own."

"I can honestly say I am thrilled with Plentify and Hotbot. From first contact, I have had the best service from real people, as well as a system that truly is easy to operate (set up the times and leave it alone!)"

Frequently asked questions

Where is the HotBot installed?

HotBot is a small Internet of Things (IoT) device (17cm x 15cm x 6cm) that is installed adjacent to your existing geyser. The power to your geyser is run through HotBot, and it has several sensors which attach to your hot water system.

How does the installation process work?

After you subscribe for HotBot, you will receive a link to book a convenient installation time. All installations will be done by either the Plentify team or our existing pool of 3rd-party installers.

Do I need a HotBot for each geyser?

If your geysers serve different parts of your home, then you will need a HotBot per geyser. If your geysers are connected to work together you may only need one HotBot.

Which geysers are compatible with HotBot?

HotBot is compatible with all electric geysers and solar geysers where the tank is on the roof (thermosyphon systems). It is not intended for gas, pumped solar thermal or low-pressure / push-through geysers.

What if my hot water system is non-compliant with regulations?

HotBot still works with geysers despite most non-compliance issues. Depending on the nature of the non-compliance, certain features may not work.
