Informasjon om virksomheten
Skrevet av virksomheten
We're on a mission to help you save energy for the things you love. At Chameleon Technology, we build ivie - a smart energy product designed to make understanding and reducing your home energy use ridiculously simple. We believe everyone deserves to take control of their energy bills without needing a PhD in physics or a smart home setup that costs thousands. Our flagship product, the ivie Bud, is a beautifully designed touchscreen in-home display that shows you exactly what your appliances are costing you in real-time. Plug it in, tap the screen, and instantly see whether that old fridge is the energy vampire you suspected it was. No engineer call-out needed, no complicated installation - just honest, live data that helps you make smarter choices about your energy use. Pair it with our free ivie app (rated 4.4 stars by over 1,400 users), and you unlock even more power. The app connects seamlessly to your smart meter, breaking down your energy use into categories, giving you personalised tips, and even rewarding you with points for saving energy that you can swap for raffle prizes. Our users save an average of 18% on their energy bills - not by freezing in the dark, but by understanding where their money is actually going and making small, intentional changes. But here's what drives us: we're not just about saving you money (though that's brilliant). We're about creating a more sustainable future, one household at a time. Every kilowatt-hour you save means less pressure on the grid, lower carbon emissions, and more resources left for the things that truly matter in life. When families can afford to heat their homes comfortably, run the washing machine without anxiety, or treat themselves to something special because their energy bills aren't astronomical - that's the impact we're working toward. We're building technology that's accessible, affordable, and actually works. No jargon, no greenwashing, no judgment - just tools that empower you to be part of the solution while keeping more money in your pocket. Save energy. Earn rewards. Make a difference. Together, we can create a future where energy works for everyone.

Order came very quickly and the quality…
Order came very quickly and the quality of the product looks good. I mistakenly ordered two units instead of one, but the returns process was very easy and refund also came pretty quickly.

I needed assistance from them
I needed assistance from them, so naturally, I got in contact with the helpdesk.
After a few days, they got back to me asking for more information, which I had duly provided them with and after a week, I receive an email that the case has been closed (without the problem being solved) and asked me if I can leave a review on TrustPilot, which I have now done.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I'm really sorry about your experience with our support team.
You're absolutely right – I can see we closed your case without actually resolving your issue, and then had the cheek to ask you for a review. That's not acceptable, and I apologize.
I'm going to personally make sure someone follows up with you properly to get this sorted. You should hear from us within the next couple of minutes.
Thank you for your patience, and for giving us the chance to put this right.

Finally received - A good monitor let down by extremely delayed Courier service
I received my monitor well over a week past the order date and that promised by Ivie. Whilst the monitor is good and I was able to get it up and working without too much hassle, I wondered if I'd ever receive it. Ivie use Yodel to deliver their monitor, and unfortunately the delivery option did not allow me to redirect to a collection centre, such as a local shop. Because the courier's app did not provide any updated information about when the item would arrive, (often displaying 'Arriving Today' and not turning up on the appointed date, it was impossible to know what it would arrive and one had to be at their own address to receive the item. I endured this about 4-5 times before it finally arrived. The monitor works well, but I have lost interest in using it after the ordeal of being advised that it would arrive on a certain date and the item not turning up. A good monitor let down by the courier service, I'm afraid to say.
29. januar 2026
Svar fra ivie
We're really sorry about the terrible delivery experience you had with Yodel. Being told multiple times that your monitor would arrive "today" only for it not to turn up is incredibly frustrating, and we completely understand why you've lost interest after that ordeal.
While we're glad the monitor itself works well and was easy to set up, we recognise that the poor courier service has really let the whole experience down. We're going to review our delivery options to see if we can offer better alternatives in the future.
We appreciate your honest feedback and apologise that this happened to you. If there's anything we can do to improve your experience going forward, please let us know.

Thanks for giving us a try, and we're sorry to hear the app isn't displaying any information. This definitely isn't right, especially with excellent WiFi coverage.

Fingers crossed it sorts itself out, but we're here if you need us!

We're really sorry to hear you've had such a frustrating experience with your ivie Bud. The issues you've described – gas usage not recording and incorrect tariff options – are definitely not acceptable.
We'd like to investigate this properly and see if we can get things working correctly for you. Please could you contact us at customercare@ivie.co.uk? We want to make sure you're getting the accurate information you're paying for.

Don't try to connect Bud to upgraded meters
Customer Service responsive and helpful. They thought it possible to re-connect my Ivie Bud to new meters in my house. This turned out to be much more complicated than they thought, and ultimately too difficult. Some weird frustrating hurdles: e.g. when using phone to access web site there aren't enough spaces to provide all 16 digits of credit card number for verification. That took a while.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're sorry it turned out to be more complicated than expected. We really appreciate your patience working through those frustrating hurdles with us, especially the credit card verification issue – that's something we'll look into improving.
While we're disappointed we couldn't ultimately get your ivie Bud connected to your new meters, we're glad our team was responsive and tried their best to help. If there's anything else we can assist with, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
