Registering users and assets

Connecting assets to markets

Participation starts with registering your users with Axle, and associating them with assets.

To participate in a market, we’ll typically need:

• the user’s addresss, from which we can retrieve the meter identifier
• the user’s tariff, to understand how they pay for energy
• a way to retrieve telemetry from, and send commands to, the asset

Registering users

Using a hosted flow

We’ll setup a hosted flow for you to send via email or in-app notifications.

If you’d like to check a user’s eligibility for flex before surfacing the flow, you can use the eligibility endpoint.

Adding assets

Once you’ve created a user in our system, we need to associate it with one or more assets.

Via our API

1. Retrieve the site ID

   When you register a user, we create a site for them. This is a unique identifier for the user, and is used to identify the asset.

2. Register the asset

   Register an asset to that site using the Create Asset endpoint.

Managing assets

You can view, update, and delete assets and sites via the API.
