Powersensor offers a high-fidelity, low-friction data layer. It bridges the "visibility gap" between the smart meter and the individual appliance, enabling a new generation of data-driven energy services.
Summary
Powersensor is a 100% DIY, electrician-free IoT telemetry ecosystem. By utilising patented electromagnetic sensing, it provides technology providers with granular, 30-second interval data from any site—regardless of the meter type (analogue or digital) or solar inverter brand.
Core Data Value Streams
1. High-Resolution "Behind-the-Meter" Telemetry
- Frequency & Latency: Capture 30-second interval data via a secure cloud API, bypassing the 24–48 hour latency and 30-minute granularity of standard AMI/smart meter data.
- Asset-Specific Data: Monitor hardwired "heavy hitters"—EVs, HVAC, Hot Water, and Pool Pumps—without opening the switchboard. This is critical for training disaggregation algorithms and optimising home energy management (HEM) logic.
- Inverter-Agnostic Solar: Gain unified visibility into gross generation and export across a heterogeneous fleet of solar assets (Fronius, Enphase, Sungrow, etc.) in a single standardised format.
2. Scaling VPP & Demand Response (DR)
- Verification & Settlement: Use real-time data to verify that a load-shifting event (e.g., an EV pausing its charge) actually occurred, providing the "source of truth" required for VPP participation and settlement.
- Phase & Power Quality: Identify localised power quality issues (voltage/current fluctuations) to support grid-edge resilience and microgrid stability projects.
3. Operational Efficiency & Rapid Onboarding
- No "Truck Rolls": Eliminate the $200–$400 cost of a field technician. Technology providers can ship kits directly to users; the app-guided DIY installation takes ~15 minutes.
- Retrofit Master: The perfect solution for "orphaned" solar systems or older homes where installing traditional CT-clamp monitoring is cost-prohibitive or technically impossible.
4. API Integration & Fleet Management
- Standardised API Streams: Access whole-site and appliance-level data via a secure, developer-friendly API.
- White-Label Compatibility: Integrate Powersensor’s real-time telemetry into your own branded dashboard, app, or energy management platform.
- Fleet Visibility: Manage thousands of endpoints from a central portal to monitor device health, battery levels, and connectivity status.
Technical & Market Capabilities
Competitive Advantage
By integrating Powersensor, technology providers stop relying on limited utility data and start owning the real-time energy profile of the home. This data is the foundation for accurate bill forecasting, personalised electrification roadmaps, and high-performance DER orchestration.
