Steps

  1. Call GET /api/1/energy_sites/{energy_site_id}/site_info to read current settings including backup reserve, assets (e.g. solar presence), and features like storm_mode_capable
  2. Call POST /api/1/energy_sites/{energy_site_id}/operation to set the site's operating mode, such as 'autonomous' (time-based control) or 'self_consumption'
  3. Call the backup reserve endpoint to adjust the site's backup reserve percentage
  4. Call POST /api/1/energy_sites/{energy_site_id}/off_grid_vehicle_charging_reserve to set a separate reserve threshold for off-grid EV charging
  5. Use the live status GET endpoint to read current power, state of energy, and grid status, with power in watts and energy in watt-hours
