Exciting New Features in Your Nexxtlab Update: A Step Forward in UX/UI and Control
At Nexxtlab, we continuously strive to improve your energy management experience by delivering smarter, more intuitive tools that help you optimize your systems and reduce your carbon footprint. This latest patch is a significant step forward, laying the groundwork for upcoming UX/UI enhancements you’ll see reflected in our new topology views and the soon-to-come single line feature.
With this update, we’re bringing you powerful new ways to control your charging, monitor your capacity, and manage your assets — all designed to give you greater insight, flexibility, and ease of use.
Enhanced Services to Optimize Your Energy Use
Capacity Alert
We’ve activated the Injection Limit feature to better steer curtailment when needed using negative quarter-hour kWp values. The system also uses positive quarter-hour kWp limits to maintain safe operating thresholds.
Charger Control: Four New Charging Modes
Solar Mode: Charge only with solar panel electricity, maximizing self-consumption and cutting down imported energy and CO2 emissions.
Green Mode: The EMS optimizes your charging session’s green energy share, balancing charging speed with environmental impact.
Tariff Mode: When electricity tariffs are favorable, this mode increases charging power while staying within your contracted capacity.
Full Power Mode: Need to charge quickly? This mode delivers maximum power from your charger instantly.
Installer Commands (Smartmaster Pro only):
New commands allow installers to reboot chargers, refresh status, clear cache, and unlock charging cables remotely.
New Distributor Role and Access
We introduced a dedicated distributor role to provide tailored access to key parts of the platform such as Dashboard, Environment, Smartmaster, Access, Transactions, and Datasource management. Distributors will receive their account details soon.
Topology: The Future of Visual Energy Management
This update introduces exciting new topology features that make managing your energy assets easier and more intuitive: compact and rotated views, zoom and drag navigation, multiple selection, right-click asset management, and the much-anticipated Single Line view. You’ll also notice color-coded indicators and the solar priority feature, aligned with the Solar Mode in asset control.
Improved Settings and Network Visibility
A new restart button allows installers and distributors to reboot Smartmaster devices directly from the interface.
Modbus port detection now shows if port 502 is open on your network, simplifying troubleshooting.
Environment API: Unlocking New Integration Possibilities
Our newly launched Environment API lets environment owners control devices, manage services, and access historical data programmatically—without using the Nexxtlab app. This opens the door to building your own applications, integrating with flexibility providers, or pulling data for custom analytics.
This patch marks a meaningful evolution in our platform, setting the stage for enhanced user experiences and smarter control. We’re excited for you to explore these features and look forward to sharing more updates soon.
