Cynact

For utility innovation teams & program managers

A vendor-neutral edge node for grid programs

Behind-the-meter DER endpoint, fast local control, M&V-ready telemetry. Built for demand response that actually completes events.

Utility programs live or die on event-completion rate and clean settlement data. Cloud-only DERMS platforms drop events when the customer's internet drops. Cynact runs the control loop locally on a US-built edge node, with sub-5 ms response, multi-protocol breadth, and roadmap support for OpenADR 2.0b and IEEE 2030.5.

What you get

  • Behind-the-meter DER endpoint across HVAC, lighting, water heat, EV (roadmap), battery (roadmap), solar (roadmap)
  • Local control loop — events complete even during customer WAN outages
  • kW shed, load shifting, pre-cool / pre-heat dispatches
  • M&V-ready telemetry: whole-building and circuit-level, settlement-ready exports
  • OpenADR 2.0b VEN on roadmap; IEEE 2030.5 / CSIP on roadmap
  • US-built hardware (Protectli, OnLogic) — NDAA 889 and TAA compliant

Why Cynact for this

Higher event-completion rate

A local control loop means dispatches execute even when the WAN flakes mid-event. Settlement data is queued and replayed when connectivity returns.

One platform across customer segments

Same edge node works in single-family homes, multifamily, and Missing-Middle commercial. Simpler pilot architecture across heterogeneous populations.

Procurement-ready

NDAA / TAA compliant hardware, US data residency, and a SOC 2 program underway. Documentation available for utility procurement.
