Demo Mode

In demo mode you will be connected to a real Edge device, but all assets like energymeters, buildings, and chargepoints are simulated. This allows testing grid configurations in a digital twin environment.

Workflow

1. Connect to Demo Edge

Access via the management interface to designated demo-edge devices. Some are cloud-hosted and may have limited availability.

2. Verify Demo Mode

A notification appears in the bottom-left corner when demo mode is enabled.
