Otodo Chooses MicroEJ’s Software Containers to Enable Smart Energy Flexibility for European Homes

The need for energy flexibility in European homes has never been more pressing. With over 25% of electricity production now coming from uncontrollable sources like wind and solar, balancing energy supply and demand has become a significant challenge for grid operators. Otodo, a leader in smart home and smart energy solutions, rises to the occasion with its holistic white-label platform—combining cloud computing and edge computing—powered by MicroEJ’s advanced technology.

Otodo: Transforming Homes into Smart Energy Hubs

Otodo delivers a comprehensive white-label Energy Management System (EMS) designed for large service operators, including telecom and energy providers. Already deployed with partners like Vavconnect in Europe, Otodo’s system empowers residential consumers to reduce energy consumption while giving operators the tools to manage their customer base effectively. The solution includes:

  • EMS controller and devices
  • Cloud service, management portals
  • Mobile app for the installers and the end users

MicroEJ’s Role: Empowering Otodo’s EMS Controller

At the core of Otodo’s EMS Controller is MicroEJ, enabling real-time edge computing while ensuring seamless communication with the cloud. MicroEJ’s unique technology allows energy operators to deploy new features even after installation, supporting continuous improvements through apps and microservices. This enables operators and third parties to enhance operations and enrich the user experience. Key benefits include:

  • Scalability: Adapts quickly to new smart home devices
  • Low-Power Operation: Optimized microservices for energy efficiency
  • Security & Reliability: Robust runtime for critical energy data
  • App Ecosystem: Safe, remote deployment of new features and services

Unlocking New Revenue Streams with Load Shedding Contracts

A major advantage of the Otodo + MicroEJ solution is support for load shedding contracts. These allow energy providers to balance grid demand by automatically reducing consumption during peak periods. Integrated with major European utilities, the platform enables:

  • Monetization of energy flexibility through demand response programs
  • Improved customer satisfaction with lower energy bills
  • Enhanced grid stability by dynamically adjusting power consumption

Deployment & Expansion Across Europe

With an initial rollout covering 40,000 homes and a target of 1,000,000 within the coming years, Otodo’s smart energy solution is proving its value in real-world deployments. Thanks to MicroEJ’s embedded expertise, this scalable and adaptable technology is well-positioned to expand across any markets, helping more households achieve energy efficiency while creating new business opportunities for operators.
