# Overview

> Home energy optimiser for UK households with FoxESS solar, Octopus Agile export, and smart battery scheduling.

PilotWatt connects your **FoxESS** inverter and battery to your **Octopus Agile export** tariff. It tells you what to do with your solar and battery — export now, store for later, or charge your EV tonight — and can push a daily schedule to your inverter automatically.

## Who is this for?

* FoxESS inverter + battery
* Octopus **Agile Outgoing** export tariff (variable export rates)
* UK installation
* Optional: Intelligent Octopus import, one or two EVs

<Note>
  PilotWatt does not replace your inverter or energy supplier. It reads data via APIs and can set FoxESS work modes when you enable the scheduler or use manual controls.
