Capture Energy Partnership Announcement!

[Will]

We are pleased to announce the partnership between the Fox ESS Community and Capture Energy – giving our UK members early access to their free, AI-driven, automated battery optimisation app.

Their software, [Capture AI], optimises Fox ESS systems, automatically managing your battery based on your electricity tariff, forecasts of home usage and solar generation, and live market signals, enabling you to:

• Buy low, sell high without lifting a finger – powering your home with the cheapest energy

• Earn additional revenues for helping stabilise the grid by engaging in local flexibility markets

• See your savings add up in a simple and sleek dashboard

Several Fox ESS community members are already using Capture Energy’s platform to automate their batteries – and are seeing strong results. Users are unlocking 50% more savings from their batteries.

[Capture AI] connects directly through your Fox API key and starts optimising immediately.

To get started, just fill in the form and book a short onboarding call at the end – where the team will get everything set-up: https://form.typeform.com/to/TbXHRkyc

This is an early access rollout for our Fox ESS UK customers, and we are keen to gather your feedback and improve the experience for the wider community ahead of our public launch.

So if I understand it correctly, this will be for both Grid Flexibility services and also for tariff optimisation. Does this work for any tariff or just Octopus Agile?

If I'm already controlling my inverter via home assistant to optimise my tariff (E-on Next Drive), can I use this just for the grid flexibility functionality alone?

Hi @wyndtryske. Correct – the app aims to provide both of these services, with the former; grid flexibility services, dependent on where you live in the UK. It works with all leading tariffs, both time-of-use and variable tariffs like Agile.

Our system works holistically to provide both of these services completely hands-free for our users, so it is not designed to be used alongside home assistant.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
