General

The Currentt EMS is a local energy management system. It consists of the Currentt Navigator in the meter cabinet, the local web app and the Currentt App. The Navigator measures energy consumption and generation via the P1 meter and the connected devices, and controls these devices smartly based on, among other things, solar surplus, energy tariffs and the capacity of the grid connection.

The Navigator connects to inverters, home batteries, EV chargers, heat pumps and meters. In addition, you can switch "non-smart" devices, such as a boiler, on and off via a switching relay. You can find which brands and models are supported, and how to connect them, under Integrations.

In the local web app you configure the installation: you connect devices and set up EV chargers, automations and tasks. You open the local web app via currentt.local from a device on the same network as the Navigator.

In the Currentt App you manage locations, view the energy data and enter the energy tariffs. The app works anywhere, on smartphone, tablet and in the browser via app.currentt.energy.

Automations are ready-made controls per device, for example for the battery, solar panels, heat pump or a double meter. With these, the system immediately works the way the customer wants.

With tasks you set up your own rules, for example switching on a boiler when the import tariff drops below a certain price. Use tasks when an automation does not offer enough freedom.

With the correct energy tariffs, Currentt calculates the energy costs of the location. With a dynamic contract, the Navigator also uses the tariffs to control the system, for example to charge the battery at the cheapest moment. Several automations and charging rules only work correctly when the tariffs have been entered.

Yes. The Navigator continuously monitors the grid connection. The battery can step in during peak loads, EV chargers are throttled when needed, and with the solar panels automation you prevent feed-in to the grid, for example at negative tariffs or when the grid operator no longer allows feed-in.

Yes. In an installation with a primary (PAP) and secondary allocation point (SAP), you connect both P1 meters to the Navigator. With the double meter automation, Currentt determines which allocation point is used for consumption and feed-in, based on the tariffs per allocation point.

The Navigator is installed by a Currentt partner. Installers become a partner by completing the training and exam of the Currentt partner program. This gives them access to the installer features in the Currentt App and to support.

As a Currentt partner, you request support via the Currentt App. If needed, a Currentt employee can temporarily view the Navigator via remote support and adjust settings for you.
