Next Steps

When your Localvolts data feed has been set up for Village Energy, this allows the Voltello App & automations to use your NMI to retrieve your price. 

You can set up your Battery for Localvolts Automation from the Offers Carousel in the Home Tab of the Voltello app. The settings in this plan will control how your battery responds to your Localvolts price.
