# 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.

### Reference

Use the [Glossary](/en/appendices/glossary.md) for definitions of product and energy-management terms.

# 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. 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
