The power of smart energy control.

BoltEMS is the central system behind every BBox installation.
It connects your smart meter, consumers and generation sources, and automatically translates this data into smart choices that make your energy cheaper and more efficient.

No fuss, no complex settings, all the intelligence is in the background.

Automatic advantage

BoltEMS continuously determines when using, storing or feeding back is most advantageous. This way you get more out of your energy every day.

Simple insight

In one clear dashboard you can see consumption, generation and savings. Practical overview, without technical complexity.

Any doubts or questions?

You are not alone. Here you will find clear answers to the most important questions about integration, security, and the distinctive features of the Bbox Home.

What is the difference between the BBox Home and the BBox Pro?

The BBox Home is designed for homes, agricultural businesses, and small business installations. It offers smart meter connection, data collection, and automatic optimization for smaller systems.

Designed for industrial environments, the BBox Pro supports more protocols, process controls, local intelligence and larger numbers of assets.

How does the BBox Home work with BoltEMS?

The BBox Home collects data via the smart meter and connected devices and sends it to BoltEMS. BoltEMS uses this information to automatically determine when charging, discharging, or saving is most advantageous.

Together, they form one smart ecosystem that optimizes your energy use.

What happens if the Internet connection goes down?

The BBox Basic continues to perform basic functions via local data and smart meter information. Once the connection is restored, it automatically synchronizes all data and settings with BoltEMS. No manual action is required.

How many devices can I connect to one BBox Home?

The BBox Home supports up to 16 devices within a single installation, depending on configuration and protocols. These can be batteries, inverters, smart meters, chargers, or sensors that communicate via Modbus, TCP/IP, or APIs.

How are updates and maintenance of the BBox Home carried out?

Updates are performed automatically via OTA (Over-The-Air), without you having to do anything. BoltEMS offers remote monitoring and diagnostics, so any problems can be quickly identified and resolved. The hardware itself is low-maintenance and comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
