What you need
Enter these details under Configuration → Grid & market → External control:
| Credential | Description |
|---|---|
| API key | Authenticates the controller to the Companion API |
| Customer ID | Identifies the customer / site within Companion |
| PV asset ID | Optional, one per PV inverter the EMS does not steer |
A PV inverter the EMS steers registers itself with Companion through the controller, so it needs no asset ID. An inverter that is not set to controllable cannot do that, so Companion assigns it an ID and you enter that ID in the project's external control settings.
