The hardware device is installed on the meter via the P1 port 2. The user connects the device to their home WiFi 3. (Optional) The user provides consent 4. Data streaming starts immediately No technician visit and no complex setup; the whole flow is designed to be completed by the end user in minutes. ## Parallel Operations Once connected, the device can run multiple independent data streams at the same time, each serving a different purpose without interfering with the others. For example: * A trading desk can receive a steady "heartbeat" of interval energy data * App users can simultaneously get "live" high-frequency power bursts when they open the app These streams operate independently; enabling one doesn't slow down or conflict with another. ## Cloud Efficiency & Integrity NET2GRID EnergyAI® Edge on HAN port is built to minimize cloud costs while keeping data reliable: * Data is filtered at the edge, reducing the volume and cost of what's ingested into the cloud * If the WiFi connection drops, the device stores data locally and automatically backfills it once the connection is restored, so no measurements are lost ## Support Services To keep devices running smoothly at scale, NET2GRID EnergyAI® Edge on HAN port includes: * A dedicated portal for enhanced troubleshooting * Real-time device health monitoring, so connectivity or hardware issues can be caught and resolved quickly --- # 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-edge-on-han-port/how-net2grid-energyai-r-edge-on-han-port-works.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.
