- Events Only
- Axle dispatches eligible events.
- Self-Dispatch
- You automate export during an event.
- Fully Managed
- Beta; not open to new users at last check.
SUPPORTED NOW
Axle eligibility follows the connected inverter/system integration and smart meter.
BUILD YOUR SMART CONTROL STACK
One battery. Several possible control layers.
Choose one authoritative scheduler and understand when a grid-event service temporarily needs control.
Electricity tariff↓Home Assistant↔PredBat↔Battery / inverter↔Axle events
PredBat
A Home Assistant app that forecasts load and solar, reads electricity prices and plans charging or discharge across dynamic and time-of-use tariffs.
- Fox ESS, GivEnergy, Solis and SolaX routes
- Sunsynk / Deye and SolarEdge routes
- Tesla, Sigenergy and more vary by integration
- Local, cloud, beta and experimental states differ
Axle + automation
Events Only is provider-dispatched. Self-Dispatch lets advanced users control export with their own automation, often through Home Assistant. Fully Managed Optimisation remains a separate beta state.
- Do not expose private event tokens
- Check controller conflicts
- Preserve battery limits
- Verify model eligibility
SUPPLIER OPTIMISATION
When the energy supplier becomes the scheduler.
Managed services can reduce manual work, but compatible hardware, tariffs and controller conflicts are decisive.
