Agent
# You set the direction. The Powerbeat Agent manages the rules.
A Rule responds to deterministic conditions. A Policy coordinates state over time. Each Agent run records an investigation, while every Proposal remains a reviewable Rule change.

Rules
## One condition. Explicit actions.
A Rule combines inspectable conditions, actions, persistence, and a cooldown. The demo Rules record an alert and explicitly wake the Agent; a notification-only Rule does not create an Agent run. Native push delivery is planned.

Powerbeat-recorded overrides
## Respect the changes Powerbeat can see.
The demo Rule starts an Agent run when a user override recorded in Powerbeat remains unresolved for two hours. Powerbeat does not claim to detect a change made only in a vendor app when the connector does not report it.

Agent runs and Proposals
## Evidence first. A precise change second.
An Agent run is an auditable investigation, not a chat. A Proposal is a reviewable Rule creation, update, or deletion. In this demo, the proposed update changes solar-headroom persistence from 5 to 10 minutes and does not edit the Rule until an owner approves it.

Policy and authority
## Stateful coordination needs explicit boundaries.
A Policy coordinates entry, exit, precedence, and restoration across multiple states. Owners choose Monitor, Suggest, or Act plus run, action, and token limits. Monitor leaves deterministic Rules active but suppresses Agent runs. Suggest blocks device control and proposes Rule changes; Act can execute allowed site actions without universal per-action approval. Connector capability checks, review of global Rules, Powerbeat-recorded overrides, circuit breakers, and audit entries still apply.

Rule and Policy ideas
## Start with a real constraint, then make maturity visible.
Three ideas are configured in the deterministic demo. Supported ideas fit today's Rule and control model when a connector exposes the required data and controls. Planned ideas show direction and are not available Rules or Proposals. This is a marketing idea catalog, not a dashboard template library.

- 05 · Solar use
Planned
**Detect unexpected one-phase charging with three-phase solar headroom**
When a Wallbox configured for three phases charges on one phase while fresh solar headroom could sustain its minimum three-phase Power for 3 minutes, wake the Agent and notify selected site members. Missing or stale phase data cannot trigger it. Future delivery would add in-app history and use registered push devices with recorded delivery state.
Rule
- 07 · Solar use
Planned
**In summer, avoid intentional import and preserve 1 kW export when feasible**
During owner-defined summer months, flexible loads avoid intentional grid Power and retain 1 kW of export when solar permits. Pause opted-in loads and alert when uncontrolled demand makes the target impossible.
Policy
- 08 · Solar use
Planned
**In winter, maximize PV use around a 100 W grid draw**
During owner-defined winter months, modulate opted-in solar charging toward 100 W of grid import, accepting the nearest reachable Wallbox current step and a telemetry tolerance.
Policy
- 12 · EV charging
Planned
**Recover a parked EV from below 20% to 22%, using Powerwall first**
Start below 20% vehicle SoC and stop at 22%. Use Powerwall discharge before grid Energy while respecting its active reserve and 4.6 kW whole-site limit. Household demand shares that limit, and grid Energy may finish the recovery.
Policy
- 18 · Battery
Planned
**Prepare a supported Powerwall for severe weather**
Use an authoritative location-matched warning, control only Fleet-capable Powerwalls, preserve the prior vendor settings, and restore them after the warning clears.
Policy
- 19 · Tariffs
Planned
**Use a configured cheap window and hold 30% until sunrise**
Use an owner-configured off-peak window, with 00:00 to 05:00 site-local time as the example, for opted-in flexible loads. Never lower an existing Powerwall reserve; hold at least 30% until astronomical sunrise.
Policy
- 27 · Reliability
Demo
**Ask the Agent to investigate stale site Energy telemetry**
When the site has no fresh Energy reading for 15 minutes, record an alert and wake the Agent, with a 6-hour cooldown.
Rule
- 28 · Reliability
Demo
**Review a user override that remains active for two hours**
When a user override recorded by Powerbeat remains unresolved for 120 minutes, record an alert and wake the Agent, with a 4-hour cooldown.

Authority questions
## Know what is automatic and what waits for review.
Authority is explicit, and approval is not a blanket promise.
Can the Agent take actions without approval?+
Yes. In Act mode, the Agent can execute allowed site actions without case-by-case approval. Suggest turns site Rule changes into owner-review Proposals and blocks direct device control. Global Rule changes always require platform-admin review.
What happens in Suggest mode?+
The Agent can investigate, record alerts, and create Proposals for Rule changes. It cannot directly control a device. A Proposal changes a site Rule only after an owner approves it.
What still limits an Act-mode command?+
The runtime checks the active device and the controls exposed by its connector, then applies action caps and command-specific safety checks. Mutating attempts are audited, and a Powerbeat-recorded override remains in force until it is resolved.
