A home that thinks about every kilowatt
NexusCore turns your house into an autonomous energy system that decides when to store, spend or sell power. Smart automation orchestrates solar, BESS and appliances around your tariffs and habits, so independence becomes effortless.
Most homes waste solar by generating power when nobody is home and buying it back at premium rates after dark. Smart home automation closes that gap. NexusCore installs a central home energy management system that connects your solar inverter, BESS, hot water, air conditioning, pool pump and EV charger into a single orchestrated whole. The controller watches generation, consumption, weather forecasts and tariff windows, then automatically shifts flexible loads into the hours when energy is abundant and cheap. You get comfort, lower bills and genuine energy independence without lifting a finger.
The intelligence sits in the decisions made every few seconds. Should excess midday solar charge the battery, heat the water tank, or pre-cool the house ahead of an evening peak? Our system answers continuously, balancing self-consumption against export value and battery health. Over a year, these thousands of small, correct choices compound into a dramatically better return on your solar-plus-storage investment.
Load-Shifting That Runs Itself
Load-shifting is the heart of a smart home. By moving your biggest discretionary loads, hot water, climate control, pool filtration and vehicle charging, into solar-rich daytime hours or off-peak overnight windows, you avoid the expensive peak tariff entirely. NexusCore automates this with schedules that adapt to weather and occupancy, so a cloudy day or a late return home reshuffles the plan automatically. You never manually chase the sun; the house does it for you.
- Automated hot water and climate scheduling around solar surplus
- Time-of-use and demand-tariff optimisation built in
- BESS charge and discharge tuned for self-consumption and battery longevity
- Weather-forecast-aware pre-heating and pre-cooling
- Single app for monitoring, overrides and real-time energy flows
BESS, VPP and Earning From Your Walls
Your battery is more than backup. With NexusCore automation, your BESS becomes a tradeable asset that can join a virtual power plant and respond to grid signals. During high-price events, the system can discharge stored solar to power your home and export to the grid for revenue, then refill cheaply overnight. This grid-services participation adds an income stream most homeowners never realise they are sitting on, and it materially shortens payback.
Designed Around Your Life
Automation should disappear into the background. Our controller learns your patterns, respects your comfort preferences and gives you a clean app for the rare moments you want manual control. Whether you are chasing maximum savings, full backup resilience or the lowest possible carbon footprint, we tune the logic to your priorities.

Smart Home Automation questions
It is the brain that coordinates your solar, battery and major appliances. Rather than each device running blind, the controller sees your whole energy picture, generation, consumption, tariffs and forecasts, and automatically decides when to store, use or export power. The outcome is lower bills, higher self-consumption and a smoother path to energy independence.
By load-shifting. The system moves your heaviest loads, hot water, air conditioning, pool pump and EV charging, into your cheapest hours, usually solar-rich daytime or off-peak overnight. This avoids expensive peak tariffs and maximises the value of energy you generate yourself, turning idle rooftop solar into real savings every day.
Yes. Through virtual power plant programs, your BESS can discharge stored solar during high-price grid events and export for revenue, then recharge cheaply later. NexusCore handles enrolment and automation, so your battery quietly earns grid-services income while still prioritising your backup and self-consumption needs.
Not at all. Automation handles the tedious optimisation, but you keep full visibility and override through one app. You set your priorities, savings, comfort or resilience, and the system tunes its decisions to match. Manual control is always one tap away when you want it.
