Monthly bills can get expensive

Does it ever seem like your monthly bills are out of control, even though you feel like you do everything in your power to keep them low? Maybe you aren't looking the right way. Each monthly bill that you receive may not seem like much on their own, but combined, your bills can seem completely overwhelming. When it comes time to pay your electric bill, cable/internet bill, phone bill and rent/mortgage bill (just to name a few), you may feel a little bit like this guy:



Monitoring your energy consumption can be a huge money saver. Moreover, it can help fight climate change. Indeed, 18% of total emissions comes from operating our homes. Heating and cooling account for about 56% of the energy use in a typical home and we spend 10% of our electricity bills on lighting.
Why wouldn't you try to change that.



The Bill Cutter can help you

We are developing a solution to make it easier to monitor your energy consumption. Wether it is your electric, gaz, water or internet consumption, we alert you when the rate is getting high. Then you just have to make your energy appetite decrease by small steps. Our app will provide you with tips and hacks you can use to help reduce your consumption. No need to be this frugal :


Our tips and hacks are easy to transform into habits and won't change your quality of life. To make is even simplier, you enter the limits you want to fix to yourself and the maximum amout of bills you want to pay, and we take care of the rest. When you approach your limit, we simply notify you by SMS of the change. It couldn't be easier.



For the devs

To make our app possible, we need to create an IFTTT applet using a webhook :
-Register or create your account and click on "New Applet"
-Click on "+this" to select your trigger
-Search & select "Webhooks"
-Search & select "sms" and choose "send a sms"
-Enter the phone number
-Click on "create action" and "finish"

For the javascript to run, you should provide a consuDecrease variable that correspond to the decrease percentage in the user consumption, needed to reach the objective. The tip variable should be a string picked from a tip library we would need to make.
