How it works

Optimise locally first. Only then use the electricity grid.

A local controller, optimisation software, an optional cloud and an API. Control runs locally and keeps working without an internet connection.

Local infrastructure node

Gridlinq Node

A local node in the home or plant room reads out measurements and drives connected installations via Modbus TCP/RTU and other open interfaces.

  • Modbus TCP / RTU
  • P1 connection
  • Digital inputs/outputs
  • Fail-safe states

Optimisation software

Gridlinq Flex

The software continuously determines when each asset should run, based on generation, consumption, comfort limits, storage and — in development — available grid capacity.

  • Configurable limits
  • Device priority
  • Comfort limits
  • Peak shaving

Optional remote platform

Gridlinq Cloud

An optional remote platform for logging, dashboards, diagnostics and updates across multiple sites. The cloud is supplementary, never required for core control.

  • Dashboards
  • Historical data
  • Remote diagnostics
  • Multi-site overview

Integration layer

Gridlinq API

An API for integration with existing management systems, energy platforms and — as a future interface — capacity signals from distribution system operators.

  • REST integration
  • Read out meter data
  • Provide setpoints
  • Future DSO interface

Keeps running, even without internet.

Optimisation runs on the local controller. If the connection drops, measurements, limits and control remain fully active. In the event of a fault, assets fall back to a defined safe state.
