NET2GRID EnergyAI® Edge on HAN port is a hardware-based service that delivers the right energy data, at the right time, straight from the edge, enabling real-time use cases while keeping operational and processing costs low. Unlike cloud-only solutions that depend on smart meter reads reaching the backend on a delay, NET2GRID EnergyAI® Edge on HAN port reads directly from the household's smart meter and makes that data available instantly, both locally and to the cloud, without waiting on a utility's data pipeline. ## Meter Compatibility NET2GRID EnergyAI® Edge on HAN port connects to the home's smart meter through the **P1 Port**, the standard interface for smart meters across Benelux and Scandinavia. A small dongle plugs directly into the meter's P1 port, then connects to the household's WiFi network to send measurements onward. ## Installation The device is designed for self-service, plug-and-play installation: * No electrician required * Consumer-installable in under 2 minutes * Connects to the meter, then joins the home WiFi network to start streaming ## Why it matters By capturing data at the edge, right at the meter, NET2GRID EnergyAI® Edge on HAN port unlocks real-time visibility that traditional smart meter reporting can't match: live power monitoring for end-user apps, high-frequency data for intraday trading, and continuous signals for home energy management, all from a single piece of hardware. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.net2grid.com/net2grid-energy-ai-edge-on-han-port/what-is-net2grid-energyai-r-edge-on-han-port.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. 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.
