The FMS

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The FMS — Flow Management System — is the thinking half of Energy Autopilot. It works in the logical realm: inside the FMS, your home exists as a model — your solar array, your battery, your EV, your big loads — each an asset whose energy flows can be planned, shaped and coordinated.

What it watches

The FMS continuously takes in everything that should influence how your home runs: your electricity prices (including real-time wholesale prices if you’re on a dynamic plan), your solar production forecast, your battery’s state, your EV’s charging needs, and the rhythms of how your household actually uses energy.

The Servo is the acting half of Energy Autopilot. Where the FMS works in the logical realm, the Servo works in the physical realm: it takes the assets the FMS manages conceptually and connects them to real-world control — speaking to your inverter, battery, EV charger and appliances directly, over your own local network.

The Servo — matchbox for scale.

Instant, in a way the cloud can never be

Because the Servo is in your home, it sees and responds to changes in your energy environment almost instantly. Cloud-only solutions physically cannot do this: every observation and command must cross the internet, through vendor clouds, with delays of seconds to minutes.
