Build an energy site application

An energy site application combines the hardware installed at one customer place. Apply the energy site kit, map the required meter role, and map the optional generator and solar roles only when those systems are installed.

Split the site from each controller

Open the site from Networks for:

  • the metered board and its circuits
  • current power, voltage, and power factor
  • optional generator state
  • optional solar production
  • combined site attention

Open an enabled meter, generator, or solar controller and use Controls for that box and its vendor Device Class UI. Energy does not add a product section to the sidenav.

The device page stays scoped to one meter or controller.

Keep hardware roles optional

The board and circuit records describe this installation. Device Classes describe reusable meter and controller hardware. Do not copy live site wiring or circuit count into the class definition.

If the customer has no generator or solar system, leave that kit role empty and omit its empty workplace section.

Verify before handover

  1. Place every installed device on the site network.
  2. Confirm each circuit uses the intended meter input and unit.
  3. Compare one reading with a trusted local measurement.
  4. Test missing, stale, offline, and out-of-range values.
  5. Confirm optional roles appear only when mapped.
  6. Confirm another customer cannot see the site or its readings.
