It does :) You can find it at the top of the page at https://docs.enode.io
Thanks! And it validates fine, congratulations. API added to the APIs.guru OpenAPI Directory.
Oh nice! Thank you so much :)

#12Great idea! If I have a "smart" oven, how would I be able to connect it?

#13Great idea. Disclaimer: I’ve never seen an EV up close. How do you access charge data from a vehicle? Does each EV model have Wifi that it uses to transmit charging data to a remote location like Tesla.com and then you view it in the Tesla app or does it use Bluetooth and that data is not transferred over the internet but only to the app?
(Almost) all new EVs have an internet connection through built in SIM card.

Assuming you mean for instance a panel heater, then yes we will support it.

#15This is corny but I just want to say thank you. Its a cliche for startups to say they're going to change the world, but I truly believe demand-response/VPP functionality is the limiting factor for fighting climate change and saving the world.

Thank you, really appreciate that! Fun problem to work on too:)

#17I feel sadness for the Smartcar company. First they are completely cloned by Otonomo and now YC is investing in another clone?

YC is becoming a joke. Your website is carbon copy of SmartCar. Not sure if this or the calendar widget company is more amusing.

#18Sounds like you're teeing up to be the pipes for DER management. That's great -- lots of people are coming into the field wanting to be the ones who own the DER management/experience -- but who do you think is going to win the coordination fight?
The EV folks know they have giant batteries on wheels, so they're all wanting to control their schedules to do utility-scale grid services. Smart EV chargers like the JuiceBox try to make their own schedules for the same reason. In California, we have nega-watt companies like OhmConnect that push out their schedules. Folks like Tesla want to sell you a closed ecosystem so they can vertically integrate their schedules. And then there's Nest/Homekit, who want to be the central hub of it all.
It's great to allow all these devices to be connected via API, but as a consumer, who am I going to go to to realize some of this value? And how I am going to make sure my EV's schedule doesn't turn on during my OhmHour or some other combination of aggregators pushing conflicting schedules that will just drive me mad into IoT hell?

#19Wow - you guys have set yourselves up for a lot of work! The amount of different hardware and versioning out there is going to be a lot of data disentanglement and cleaning.
If you can pull it off would be super useful for the undervalued and often difficult to monetize residential space. Sounds like you should partner with Genability and UtilityAPI once you prove out your tech.
Good luck.
