This article gives an overview of how to automate your demand response participation with a Voltus control integration.

Getting Started

Tutorials

Development

You’ll move through these stages with support from our team:

  1. Decide whether to use the REST API, or OpenADR. You can change this later.

For the REST API:

  1. Obtain a sandbox key by contacting your Sales Director or api-support@voltus.co. Specify your intended integration method. We will also issue a production key if you are eligible at this time.
  2. Use your private sandbox to run dispatch simulations while you build your integration.
  3. After passing all simulations, request a production key if you don’t already have one.

For OpenADR:

  1. Contact your Sales Director or api-support@voltus.co to determine your OpenADR configuration
  2. Send a Certificate Signing Request
  3. With the signed certificate, connect to your Voltus VTN

For all integrations:

  1. Connect to the production environment and create a test dispatch.
  2. If successful, you are ready for a Dispatch Verification (curtailment expected) with your first real site. Contact your Sales Director and api-support@voltus.co for next steps.
