Gridual will require information about the Sofar EMS before they can control any assets.
This includes the Sofar EMS Serial Number, and the SiteID, which is the same as the Serial Number with '_site_0' appended at the end.
In the next page, you have the option to include/exclude devices for remote control. Ensure to mark all checkboxes of devices you'd like to include.
When using multiple batteries, they are aggregated into one (virtual) asset for Gridual.
'Gridual' is now set up on the Sofar EMS.
When Gridual External Control is added, the Sofar EMS algorithm has no control over the battery's behaviour.
If no signal is received from Gridual for 2 minutes, control falls back to the local algorithm.
