The service primarily utilizes measurements of delivered and injected energy to capture consumption and generation behavior. In addition to standard smart meter inputs, the system can incorporate submetering and secondary meter data from specific assets such as solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and EVs. These complementary sources, often provided through OEM or equipment manufacturer interfaces, refine disaggregation precision by aligning actual production and consumption values. NET2GRID EnergyAI® can ingest electricity or gas measurements from three main sources, ensuring compatibility with diverse utility and market setups: * **File Imports:** Customers can provide end-user smart meter data in standardized file formats for batch processing. * **Datahubs:** Direct integration with national or regional smart meter data hubs enables automated, secure, scalable data streaming. * **NET2GRID Hardware:** NET2GRID's proprietary in-home hardware (available in Europe) delivers 15-minute data for cloud-based disaggregation. *** ## Profile information A Profile is key information about the household and its appliances, including the location (e.g., country) and the types of devices present. This data is crucial for optimizing the disaggregation process, enabling NET2GRID EnergyAI® to generate more accurate and personalized reports for each consumer. If a consumer's profile is missing information, we can automatically apply a default profile to fill in the gaps. For example, if a consumer partially completes the profile, the remaining attributes will be inherited from the default. If no profile is provided, the entire default profile will be used. However, this reduces the level of personalization. Default profiles are region-specific, meaning that the information they include is tailored to reflect the common attributes of each market or geographical area. This regional customization ensures that, even in the absence of user-specific data, the disaggregation service starts from a context-aware baseline that aligns with local norms. {% hint style="info" %} See how [NET2GRID EnergyAI® automatically enriches incomplete user profiles](/net2grid-energy-ai-cloud/functionality/enriching-household-profiles.md). {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.net2grid.com/net2grid-energy-ai-cloud/overview/input.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
