EnergyBrainby LxCoders

Bespoke energy management

The energy brain of your home or your business.

EnergyBrain is infrastructure installed on site: a dedicated server that connects every device, reads the solar forecast and the tariffs, and decides when to heat, charge and pump. Without relying on the dubious servers behind cheap smart devices.

A web dashboard and a phone app, both connected to the on-site server.

Everything wired to a server inside the building, never through a manufacturer's cloud.

The problem

Plenty of smart devices. None of them decides.

01

Every brand, its own app and cloud

Cheap plugs, relays and thermostats talk to servers abroad. If the server goes down or the brand disappears, the building stops responding.

02

Energy is used at the wrong time

The heat pump starts at peak time, the car charges after the sun has gone and the pool filters on grid power.

03

Nobody knows what each device costs

The bill arrives at the end of the month without saying what pushed it up, or what is about to fail.

How it works

Not an app. Infrastructure.

The app is just the window. EnergyBrain is everything we install and maintain: server, local connections, rules and integrations.

A server on site

A small dedicated server inside the home or building. It keeps working without the internet.

Everything connected locally

Zigbee, Modbus, MQTT and relays talk straight to the server, never through manufacturers' clouds.

It plans ahead

Solar forecast, weather and tariffs set tomorrow's plan: heating, hot water, pool and cars.

Open to the rest

Its own API connects to other systems: renewable energy software, building management, billing or ERP.

Service

A complete service, from survey to ongoing care.

EnergyBrain does not come in a box. Every installation is designed for its site, by the people who will maintain it.

  1. 1

    On-site survey

    We map electrical panels, breakers, contracts, equipment and consumption. We find what is already smart, what can become smart and what is worth doing.

    You getA report with inventory, opportunities and an estimate.

  2. 2

    Design

    How to automate devices that are not smart: contactors, relays, dry contacts and sensors. Which integrations to make with renewable production and tariffs.

    You getA technical design and a fixed quote.

  3. 3

    Installation

    Server, local network, secure remote access over a private VPN, and every device connected. Equipment stops depending on its manufacturer's cloud.

    You getA working system with documented panels.

  4. 4

    Bespoke rules

    Priorities, comfort, power limits, schedules and exceptions agreed with you. The rules follow the seasons and real use.

    You getAn automatic daily plan and your own dashboard.

  5. 5

    Ongoing care

    Monitoring, alerts before failures, cost reports and continuous tuning.

    You getA maintenance contract.

What it controls

Every piece of equipment working at the right time.

Tariffs

Two-rate, three-rate and dynamic tariffs. Every load goes to the cheapest hour.

Solar and batteries

Local inverter readings and production forecasts, so surplus is used instead of sold cheaply.

Heat pump and hot water

Tanks become thermal batteries: heat with sun or a low tariff, store it for the night.

Pool and hot tub

Filtering, heating and filling on a daily plan, with sessions and leak detection.

EV charging

Cars charge on sunshine or the low tariff, according to each one's battery.

Contracted power

Per-phase protection: sheds loads before the main breaker trips, so you can contract less power.

Cost per device

What each device costs per day, month and year, and where meters are missing.

Alerts and diagnostics

Warns when something fails or behaves oddly, in one digest, without flooding your phone.

Electrical panels

An inventory of panels, breakers and devices by room, with photos.

Who it's for

For those who demand full control.

High-end homes

Villas with solar, heat pumps, pools and several electric cars.

Hospitality

Properties where guest comfort cannot depend on the bill or a manufacturer's cloud.

Agri-industry

Packhouses, cold stores and irrigation, side by side with FarmUp.

Buildings and industry

Offices, warehouses and plants whose loads can be shifted in time.

Privacy

Your data stays in your building.

Many cheap devices send data to servers with no known address. EnergyBrain cuts that dependency.

  • Local control: devices respond even without the internet.
  • Remote access through a private VPN, with no ports open to the internet.
  • Consumption data belongs to the client and stays on the on-site server.
  • Google sign-in and users with permissions, including guests.

Integrations

We speak the language of the equipment and systems you already have.

  • Modbus TCP
  • Zigbee
  • MQTT
  • Local Tuya
  • Shelly
  • Solar inverters
  • EV chargers
  • Vehicle APIs
  • Weather forecasts
  • Energy tariffs
  • REST API
  • Webhooks

Premium service

Made to measure, installed and maintained by one team.

We don't sell kits. Every project starts with an on-site survey and ends in a fixed quote. The people who install it are the people who write the software, and who look after it.

  • A technical survey before anything is bought
  • Equipment chosen to last, not the cheapest
  • One party responsible for the whole system
