Unwaste EMS combines intelligent automation with comprehensive monitoring to deliver a complete energy management solution. Here are the core capabilities that set it apart: ## Intelligent Device Control The Unwaste Robot automatically manages your energy-consuming devices based on real-time electricity prices, solar production, and your preferences. Control modes include **Off**, **Eco**, **Comfort**, and **Boost**, allowing fine-grained optimization tailored to each device's capabilities. ## Advanced Energy Storage Management Optimize battery usage with intelligent charging and discharging strategies. The system charges storage when energy is cheapest and releases it during peak pricing periods, maximizing your return on investment. ## Solar Production Optimization Automatically schedule energy-intensive tasks to align with peak solar production. The system uses weather forecasts to predict available solar energy and coordinates device operation accordingly. ## Flexible Control Options Customize system behavior with **Profiles**, **Schedules**, and **Overrides**: * **Profiles** define different operational scenarios (workday, weekend, vacation) * **Schedules** set recurring patterns for device operation * **Overrides** provide immediate manual control when needed ## Comprehensive Monitoring Track energy flows in real-time across your entire installation. Visualize production, consumption, storage, and grid import/export with detailed statistics and historical data. ## Multi-Device Integration Connect and control various devices including: * Heat pumps and heating systems * EV chargers * Air conditioning units * Water heaters * Any controllable electrical device ## Savings Calculation Measure your financial and environmental impact with detailed savings reports showing: * **Self-use savings** from direct solar consumption * **Storage savings** from optimized battery usage * **Unwaste savings** from intelligent device scheduling ## Scalable Architecture Start with basic monitoring and expand to full automation. The system grows with your needs, from single-circuit installations to complex multi-circuit setups with multiple energy sources and storage systems. *** Every feature works together to create a seamless energy management experience that reduces costs, maximizes renewable energy usage, and simplifies control of your entire electrical installation. --- # Agent Instructions 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.

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/introduction/key-features-and-capabilities.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
