Your battery.
Smarter.
Automatic.
GridSentinel monitors real-time wholesale prices and controls your home battery automatically — charging when prices are cheap, exporting when they spike.
How it works
Automated decisions, every 5 minutes
Monitor prices
Fetches live wholesale prices from Amber Electric every 5 minutes, including the 48-period forecast.
Make a decision
Compares price against your thresholds. Decides whether to charge, export, self-consume, or curtail.
Control your battery
Sends commands directly to your battery via its cloud API. No hub, no local hardware required.
Log and notify
Every decision is logged. You get notified of mode changes so you always know what's happening.
Built for Amber Electric customers
GridSentinel is purpose-built for the Australian wholesale electricity market. If you're on Amber Electric with a home battery, this is designed specifically for you.
Features
No black box. No lock-in.
Real-time wholesale prices
Live feed directly from Amber's API with AEMO as fallback. Always working from the freshest data.
Your thresholds, your rules
Set your own sell and buy thresholds, minimum reserve, and max charge. GridSentinel executes your strategy.
Negative price protection
Automatically curtails solar export during negative price events so you're never paying to export.
Multi-battery support
Tesla Powerwall supported now. Sigenergy and FoxESS coming soon. One platform, any battery.
Full decision log
Every mode decision is stored and timestamped. See exactly what GridSentinel did and why.
