What problem does it solve?
Energykit helps apps make better decisions about when to consume electricity by providing grid electricity forecasts for cleaner or cheaper time windows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Electricity Guidance (forecasting): Fetch time-weighted electricity guidance for a specific energy venue to decide when shifting or reducing load is beneficial.
- Load Event submission (feedback loop): Submit EV charger and HVAC load events tied to a guidance token so the system can track guidance adherence and improve future guidance.
- Insights querying (historical analysis): Retrieve energy and runtime insight records by device and venue for evaluating performance over time.
Use cases: EV charging optimization, HVAC scheduling and setbacks, and smart home energy management dashboards that recommend low-tariff or cleaner-grid usage periods.
Quick Start
Use the energykit skill to query ElectricityGuidance for a selected EnergyVenue and suggested action (shift or reduce), then store the returned guidance token to submit matching load events for EV charging or HVAC activity.
