Stop Managing Load Controllers in Spreadsheets
If you're tracking demand response devices in spreadsheets, Access databases, or disconnected legacy systems, you're not alone. Many utilities have load control programs that predate modern software but still need accurate device tracking and annual reporting.
The challenge grows as demand response portfolios expand beyond traditional load control receivers to include smart thermostats (Nest, ecobee, Honeywell), EV chargers, battery storage, heat pump water heaters, and other controllable devices. Each device type has different data requirements, lifecycle stages, and reporting needs.
Incentit provides a unified device tracking platform that handles all demand response assets from a single interface. Track devices through their full lifecycle: procurement, inventory, installation, active service, maintenance, and decommission. Link devices to participant accounts, installation addresses, and the rebate or incentive that drove enrollment.
Annual reporting rolls up installed capacity by device type, program, and territory for regulatory filings and integrated resource planning.
Device Lifecycle Management
Procure
Order devices and receive into inventory
Inventory
Track in warehouse by serial number
Install
Assign to account and install location
Active
In service, reporting capacity
Return
Removed, returned to warehouse
Junk
Decommissioned, end of life
Supported Device Types
Load Control Receivers
Traditional one-way and two-way receivers for water heaters, air conditioners, and pool pumps. Track by serial number, substation, and account.
Smart Thermostats
Connected thermostats enrolled in DR programs. Track enrollment, verify connectivity, and pair with HVAC rebate records for complete picture.
EV Chargers
Level 2 chargers enrolled in managed charging or time-of-use programs. Track installation, capacity, and participation in grid-interactive programs.
Battery Storage
Behind-the-meter battery systems enrolled in virtual power plant or backup power programs. Track capacity, configuration, and dispatch availability.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
Grid-interactive HPWHs with CTA-2045 connectivity enrolled in load shifting programs. Link to rebate record from original installation.
Solar & DER Facilities
Track installed PV systems, interconnection agreements, net metering contracts, and community solar subscriptions with facility-level detail.
Reporting & Analytics
Total controllable MW by device type, program, substation, and territory for IRP and regulatory filings.
Count and capacity by lifecycle stage — how many in inventory, installed, active, returned, junked.
Installations, removals, replacements, and net change by year for trending and forecasting.
Device counts and capacity by feeder or substation for grid planning and targeted DR dispatch.
