The Passport

A small box that coordinates the heavy side of your home.

The Passport works across solar, batteries, heating, cooling, charging and tariffs to balance savings, comfort and blackout protection.

The Passport Local power coordinator

Local presence

The Passport stays where the devices are.

01

Local presence

The Passport stays in your home and keeps watching supported devices, even when the internet is down for many hours.

02

Works when nobody is watching

GridPassport should not depend on the one person who likes energy settings. If you are away or busy, the home should still follow the plan.

03

Beyond one ecosystem

Supporting every piece of hardware is not possible on day one. It is still the direction: serious devices should be able to join one home plan.

How it looks now

It will be beautiful soon. Right now, it just works.

The current Passport does not look like a product yet. It is a small piece of working electronics without the planned enclosure.

That is fine for this stage. The enclosure, material and finish will be honed in the next months. What matters now is that the hard part is already alive: the local coordinator can run, listen, decide and act.

Working prototype. No planned enclosure yet.

Operating loop

A fresher plan, every 15 minutes.

The useful work is not one dramatic automation. It is a decision cycle that keeps adjusting: charge, wait, reserve, shift, sell, protect.

Measure

Read device state, household load, battery level, tariff context and comfort needs where integrations allow it.

Forecast

Look ahead at solar, weather, price movement, likely demand and the risk of needing backup energy later.

Prioritize

Balance savings, comfort and blackout protection instead of letting one device spend energy for its own goal.

Coordinate

Tell supported equipment what should happen next, then keep the plan fresh as the day changes.

What GridPassport does

GridPassport has four jobs in the home.

Savings

Lower the bill.

Buy, store and use energy when timing is on your side.

Resilience

Keep backup ready.

Do not spend tomorrow's reserve just because today is cheap.

Comfort

Protect comfort.

Shift heating and cooling only inside the family's comfort boundary.

Simplicity

Make it hands-free.

Set the priorities once. GridPassport should keep doing the work in the background.

What it coordinates

Good hardware still needs shared priorities.

The Passport is built for the devices that materially change the bill, comfort and resilience of a home. It starts where the outcome is largest and expands as integrations mature.

Solar

Production forecasts, self-consumption, export timing and surplus decisions.

Battery

Charging, discharging, reserve, safe mode and the cost of extra cycles.

Heating and cooling

Comfort-aware load shifting around weather, prices and household routines.

EV charging

Charging deadlines, cheap windows, solar surplus and battery protection.

Tariffs

Fixed, time-of-use and dynamic price signals treated as inputs, not as commands.

Trust

The first version should be honest about what it is not.

Not finished. Already useful.

The V1 is limited, and there is a long road ahead: integrations, compatibility, UX and field testing. The first home data already gives us strong reasons to keep going.

Not universal from day one.

Compatibility will expand deliberately. The early waitlist helps decide which devices and markets matter first.

Not a guaranteed savings machine.

Outcomes depend on devices, tariff, weather, usage and local rules. The first home data is evidence, not a promise for every home. Read why savings are not guaranteed.

Founding homes

Join if you want to help build this with us.

This is not a polished public product yet. It is a test version for people who feel the problem and are excited enough to work through the first rough edges with us.

What that means:

  • We will ask about your devices, tariff, bills and daily routines.
  • We may want to talk, test remotely or visit the home when it makes sense.
  • Some integrations may not work the first time.
  • The best founding homes are owned by people who are genuinely excited by this category.
