Real Time Power Alerts
Instantaneous power exceeds thresholds
EnergyAI supports alerts that are triggered when total power consumption or production exceeds or drops below specified thresholds. These notifications can be beneficial for end-users, as customized power alerts are available for each phase of their electrical installation. This helps users in various situations, such as preventing fuse blowouts or increasing self consumption when there is excessive energy generated by solar panels.
| Notification Code | Description |
|---|---|
| PT001.1 | Total power consumption has exceeded the defined upper threshold |
| PT001.2 | Total power consumption has dropped below the defined lower threshold |
| PT002.1 | Total power production has exceeded the defined upper threshold |
| PT002.2 | Total power production has dropped below the defined lower threshold |
Regularly monitor solar production and consumption to optimize energy usage and minimize grid reliance.
When an installation feeds energy back to the grid, the power level has negative values, thus negative thresholds need to be defined for grid injection.
- PT002.2 can be used for alerts about excessive energy production fed to the grid.
- PT002.1 can be used for alerts about low performance of a solar installation.
Consistently low performance in solar installations may indicate the need for maintenance or permanent shadowing.
The PT002.1 threshold can serve as a useful indicator during periods of high solar generation and low consumption, with a practical setting being the installed capacity minus the consumption of energy-intensive appliances.

Notification attributes
These notifications contain the following additional attributes
| Notification Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| threshold | The threshold for which the notification is triggered. Can be positive or negative |
| phase | Possible values are MAIN, Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 |
Notifications setup
For these alerts to work, the end-users need to set the thresholds within the client application via the CE-API. Notifications can be delivered either directly to the app via PUSH notifications or through the customer’s dedicated channel using REST API notifications. For further details, please refer to the respective section of the notifications guide.
Positive thresholds are set for users to be notified about electricity consumption, while negative thresholds are set for users to be notified about electricity production.
The end-user can configure all four thresholds for the MAIN phase, while a maximum of two thresholds can be set for each individual phase (Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3) in the case of multi-phase installations. Any combination of two available thresholds is considered valid for the separate phases.
