Consortium
enbility is carried by five members jointly. Each of them builds or tests products that depend on EEBUS working properly — that is the whole governance model.
Company

Individuals1 member
Kai Takac is a member in a personal capacity rather than through a company. Andreas Linde, the original author of the libraries, is acknowledged there too.
Read moreGovernance
How the project is governed
Roles, policies and decision rules are written down and agreed by all members — not left to whoever happens to hold the commit bit.
Steering committee
One representative per member. Decides on admissions, the strategic roadmap and anything the maintainers cannot settle among themselves.
Lazy consensus by default
Day-to-day work runs on informal agreement. Only defined decisions — licence, policy or domain changes among them — require a formal vote.
A committed minimum
Each member contributes at least 32 hours a month, in code, infrastructure, documentation or community work. Contributions are reviewed quarterly.
Beyond code
Products and services offered by consortium members
The libraries are free, and nobody sells them. What the consortium members do sell are the products and services around them — certified hardware, test capacity and implementation work.
EnergyLink One
The first box officailly qualified with the enbility EEBUS stack: limitation of power consumption and production in both roles — as the controllable system (CS/HEMS) and as the energy guard (EG, the German Steuerbox) — plus power and grid connection point monitoring and SHIP pairing. It runs alongside a local HEMS such as evcc, connects to a cloud HEMS, or is extended with your own applications and connectors through the SDK.

EEBUS integration, deployment and validation
Coretech helps manufacturers bring EEBUS into real products with deployment-ready eebus-go packages and extensive off-the-shelf use-case support, complemented by EEBUS simulation and automation, pre-qualification software, and training and technical consultation.
- eebus-go deployment
- Extensive use-case support
- Simulation & automation
- Pre-qualification software
- Training & consultation
EnQS Testlab
A lab wired with real PV systems, battery storage, wallboxes and test smart meter gateways, reachable over VPN — where an EEBUS implementation or integration meets hardware that behaves like hardware, not like a simulator.
- Implementation testing
- Integration testing
- Remote access
Hardware built on eebus-go
Wallboxes, charging cables, inverters and storage that speak EEBUS through the same stack — and the option to have the electronics developed and manufactured for the job, from prototype to series production.
- Charging hardware
- PV and storage
- Custom EMS electronics
