Residential and Smart Homes
For homes with solar, battery storage, or premium automation systems including KNX, Control4, and Vantage. Ambient Context coordinates them as a managed energy system — self-consumption, VPP readiness, and predictive asset health.
Who this is for
Optimise self-consumption, reduce grid export, and maximise the generation asset.
Dispatch optimised against usage patterns and tariff structure.
KNX, Control4, or Vantage systems enhanced with a predictive layer.
Configurations
Maximise self-consumption, optimise export timing, and prepare for VPP via load shifting.
Dispatch charge and discharge against usage patterns, weather forecast, and grid pricing.
KNX, Control4, or Vantage with a predictive layer for comfort and energy outcomes.
DER Orchestration and Grid Services
As the install base scales, participating sites gain access to Virtual Power Plant and demand-response programmes.
Intelligent load shifting to match generation. Reduce grid draw during solar hours.
Charge/discharge dispatch driven by forecasts, usage, and time-of-use pricing.
Contribute to grid stability and earn revenue from dispatchable flexibility.
Predictive layer on top of KNX, Control4, or Vantage — pre-conditioning driven by weather and occupancy.
Automated participation in DR events. Reduce consumption during peaks while preserving comfort.
Early detection of HVAC, pump, and major-appliance issues via electrical signature analysis.
Integrations
Compatible with existing solar, battery, inverter, and automation systems across manufacturers.
Full compatibility with KNX deployments; predictive layer on top of the bus.
Elevate programmed scenes with predictive, energy-aware triggers.
Add context-driven scene selection to Vantage lighting and control.
Projected Outcomes
Ranges reflect scenario modelling. Actuals depend on home size, solar capacity, storage configuration, and usage.
Automated load shifting during peak tariff periods and optimised solar export.
Pool pump and heater scheduling aligned with solar and off-peak rates.
HVAC and equipment issues surfaced weeks before failure.
15–30% energy cost reduction via self-consumption and load optimisation.
Automation Scenarios
Pre-heat or pre-cool using solar generation; optimise HVAC timing for comfort and efficiency.
Dynamic scenes balanced against consumption; daylight maximisation.
Schedule pumps and heaters on solar. Maintain setpoints while minimising grid draw.
Charge from surplus solar or off-peak periods. Automated, preference-aware dispatch.
Use the HW cylinder as thermal storage — heat during solar abundance.
Defer dishwashers, dryers, and flexible loads to optimal times automatically.
Privacy by Design
Patterns and preferences stay local by default.
Enterprise-grade encryption, under your control.
Remote access available when you choose; never required for operation.
Optimise generation, enhance automation, and participate in the future grid.
