# Welcome

Start here to install, configure, and operate Unwaste EMS.

Welcome to the Unwaste EMS documentation.

Unwaste is an energy management system for optimizing consumption, production, and storage.

## Start here

1. Review [Getting started](/en/getting-started/introduction.md) and choose your installation method.
2. Install [Unwaste Robot for Home Assistant](/en/unwaste-for-home-assistant/installation.md) or [Unwaste Robot for Unwaste OS](/en/unwaste-os/installation.md).
3. Model your electrical installation in [Configuration basics](/en/unwaste-robot-configuration/configuration.md).
4. Use and monitor the system through [System Operation](/en/unwaste-robot-operation/system-operation.md).

## Explore the documentation

Start with [Unwaste EMS](/en/introduction/about-unwaste-ems.md) to understand the system.

Then use these sections when needed:

* [Configuration](/en/unwaste-robot-configuration/configuration.md) — model connections, circuits, production, storage, and devices.
* [Profiles, schedules and overrides](/en/unwaste-robot-configuration/profiles-schedules-and-overrides/profiles-schedules-and-overrides.md) — control device behavior.
* [Unwaste Cloud](/en/unwaste-cloud/benefits-of-cloud-account.md) — use cloud services and remote access.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.unwaste.energy/en/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
