GridPilot Power Plant New Features

What’s New at Smart Motion

We’re rolling out new capabilities for your Smart Motion GridPilot Power Plant.

2025-07 – Introducing GridPilot AI: Your strategy, executed automatically

We’ve activated GridPilot AI, the decision engine behind the Smart Motion GridPilot Power Plant.
Rather than locking you into fixed schedules or opaque rules, GridPilot AI continuously executes the strategy
you define—based on live electricity prices, your battery state-of-charge, and near-term solar forecasts.

You choose how aggressive to be, when to charge, when to export, and how much reserve to keep.
GridPilot AI then decides—minute by minute—whether to charge, export, or wait,
ensuring your preferences are applied precisely across changing market conditions.

Clear, concise status on your dashboard

At a glance, you can see:

Mode – what your battery is doing right now
Why – the exact rule, price or condition driving that action
When – the next optimisation decision point

What makes GridPilot AI different?

Market-aware execution – Continuously tracks wholesale price movements and responds instantly.
Battery-conscious logic – Protects battery health by avoiding unnecessary cycling.
Solar-aware planning – Anticipates upcoming generation and schedules actions accordingly.
Adaptive behaviour – Automatically adjusts as tariffs, weather and usage patterns change.
Total transparency – Every decision is visible and explained, so you remain firmly in control.

Why you’ll love it

Lower bills, no micromanagement – Your strategy runs continuously without constant tuning.
More revenue opportunities – Ready to act instantly when feed-in prices spike.
Cleaner energy use – Imports and exports aligned to cheaper, lower-carbon periods.

Available now

2025-06 – Auto Battery Charging During Low Solar

You set the price. GridPilot handles the timing.

This automation helps you stay ahead on cloudy days or during low solar output,
while keeping full control over when grid charging is allowed.

How it works

Tracks your live energy price – Works with Amber Electric and LocalVolts.
Estimates remaining solar – Uses live production and historical trends.
Monitors household load – Ensures charging won’t unintentionally spike imports.
Anticipates price rises – Charges ahead of forecasted price spikes.
You set the trigger – Define your own Auto Charge price threshold (e.g. $0.08/kWh).
