Ampaura Gateway

Works with the gear you already have

Connect runs other people's hardware. Inverters, batteries, meters, EV chargers and gensets from different brands work as one system, brought in by the Ampaura Gateway on site. If your equipment speaks Modbus, CAN or OCPP, there's a good chance we already run it.

The Ampaura Gateway industrial controller with terminal blocks, ethernet and USB ports

The Ampaura Gateway, model AURA-IMC-500. It validates and executes the plan on site, and keeps running if the internet drops.

Tested devices
Already have batteries

You don't have to replace anything to start

Most sites that come to us already own hardware. Solar from one supplier, a battery from another, meters and chargers from whoever was cheapest that year. The Gateway makes that collection behave like one system without ripping any of it out. It's the same box on every Ampaura site.

Keep the hardware

The Gateway reads and controls what's already on site: your inverters, your battery, your meters and your chargers.

Add the software

Peak shaving, tariff shifting and AI Mode run on top of the equipment you already own.

Grow into it

When you add capacity later, it joins the same platform. Nothing gets stranded.

Tested and running today: Sungrow, GoodWe, RCT Power, Solinteg, Shelly and Acrel

All six brands are running on live sites today across inverters, battery systems, meters and power quality monitoring. Everything else comes in over open protocols.

Every device is validated on our bench in Adelaide before it touches your site.

Protocols and standards

Speaks the protocols your site already does

No proprietary lock-in at the connection layer. Connect talks to devices over the open protocols they already use, and to the grid over the standards Australian networks are rolling out.

CSIP-AUS v1.2 conformance tested

The Ampaura Gateway has passed ANU CSIP-AUS v1.2 conformance testing. Whether dynamic connection and flexible export are available on your site depends on your network operator, and we confirm it with them.

When the internet drops, the site keeps running

A cloud-only energy system stops working the moment the connection does, usually at the worst possible time. The Gateway holds the current plan locally and keeps executing it. The battery keeps shaving and the limits stay enforced. When the connection returns it reconciles with the cloud and carries on.

✓Last good plan keeps running through an outage
✓Device and site limits enforced locally, connection or not
✓Automatic reconciliation when the link comes back

It's also the site's translator. Inverters, batteries, meters and chargers from different manufacturers each speak their own dialect, and the Gateway speaks all of them, which is what lets one dashboard run a mixed fleet.

New equipment

Not on the list? Allow up to four weeks.

New equipment is onboarded against the manufacturer's protocol documentation, then bench tested before it goes anywhere near your site. Allow up to four weeks from the go-ahead to a device running on a live site.

Send the details

Make, model and the protocol documentation if you have it. A photo of the nameplate works.

We map it

Registers, control points and limits, mapped into the Connect device library.

Bench validation

Tested in Adelaide against the real hardware, since datasheets and devices don't always agree.

Live on your site

The device joins the fleet and is monitored like everything else Connect runs.

Check your site

List what's on site: inverter and battery brands, meters, chargers, anything with a nameplate. We'll come back with what Connect can run today and what would need onboarding first.
