Supported Device Types

Amps AI supports five main categories of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), each accessible through consistent API endpoints regardless of manufacturer.

​

Batteries

Monitor and control battery storage systems for residential and commercial applications. Capabilities:

• Monitor charge level, capacity, and charging status
• Track energy flow (charging/discharging)
• View battery health and performance metrics
• Control charging and discharging (where supported)

Use Cases:

• Home energy storage management
• Peak shaving and load shifting
• Backup power coordination
• Solar self-consumption optimization

​

EV Chargers

Manage electric vehicle charging infrastructure and control charging sessions. Capabilities:

• Monitor charging status and power levels
• Start and stop charging sessions
• Schedule charging times
• Track energy consumption

Use Cases:

• Fleet charging management
• Public charging network operations
• Home charging optimization
• Demand response programs

​

HVAC Systems

Control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems with temperature and mode management. Capabilities:

• Read current temperature and mode settings
• Set temperature setpoints (heat/cool)
• Change operating modes (auto, heat, cool, off)
• Monitor system status and operation

Use Cases:

• Smart home automation
• Demand response load reduction
• Energy efficiency optimization
• Comfort management

​

Solar Inverters

Track solar energy production, current power output, and energy totals. Capabilities:

• Monitor real-time power production
• Track daily, monthly, and lifetime energy totals
• View inverter status and health
• Access production history

Use Cases:

• Solar production monitoring
• Energy management dashboards
• ROI tracking and reporting
• Grid integration coordination

​

Vehicles

Monitor electric vehicle battery level, range, charging status, and capacity. Capabilities:

• Monitor battery level and range
• Track charging status and rate
• View vehicle location (where supported)
• Check charging history

Use Cases:

• Fleet management and tracking
• Charging optimization
• Range planning
• Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications

​

Consistent Interface

All device types follow the same API patterns:

• Pull Operations: Retrieve current device state
• Push Operations: Send commands to control devices
• Action Polling: Track command status
• Webhooks: Receive real-time event notifications

Once you understand how to work with one device type, you can easily work with others.
