Also for

Builders, developers, owners and facility managers

You want simple, reliable visibility of where the energy goes, without the cost and complexity of a BMS.

  • Live dashboard of consumption, solar and net
  • Site peak demand at a glance
  • History charts and CSV export for reporting
Features

Everything you need to monitor a commercial site, in one box

All of the features below are built and working today.

Monitoring by NCC load category

Power, Lighting, Mechanical, Lift, Hot Water, Renewable, EV Charging, Battery and Other.

Live dashboard

Consumption, solar generation and net in real time, plus the site's peak demand.

History, intervals and CSV export

Energy history charts, 15-minute billing-grade intervals and CSV export for reporting.

Standard meters and protocols

Modbus TCP and MQTT. The Shelly Pro 3EM is the first supported meter, with more brands planned.

Fully offline

No internet or cloud needed. PhaseLink keeps accurate time even without an internet connection.

Survives power cuts

Restarts and keeps recording on its own, with crash-safe storage and automatic daily backups.

Role-based logins

Admin, master and viewer logins, so everyone sees what they need and nothing more.

Simple device admin

An admin page to add devices, so commissioning doesn't need a specialist integrator.

All-in-one box

Commercial off-the-shelf hardware with PhaseLink's own software hub, built from scratch.

NCC compliance

Designed around NCC Section J energy monitoring

PhaseLink is designed to meet the energy-monitoring requirements of NCC Section J for Australian commercial buildings. Energy is recorded against the NCC load categories, at 15-minute intervals, and kept on site.

  • Consumption recorded by NCC load category
  • 15-minute billing-grade interval data
  • History charts and CSV export for reporting
  • Crash-safe storage with automatic daily backups

Compliance requirements depend on the building and its approval documents. Confirm the energy-monitoring requirements for each project with the project's designer or certifier.

NCC load categories supported

  • Power
  • Lighting
  • Mechanical
  • Lift
  • Hot Water
  • Renewable
  • EV Charging
  • Battery
  • Other
How it works

From switchboard to dashboard in hours

Standard meters report to the PhaseLink box over your site network. The box stores the data and serves the dashboard locally, with no cloud in the middle.

  1. Install the box

    Mount the all-in-one PhaseLink box on site. It's built from standard, off-the-shelf hardware.

  2. Connect the meters

    Wire in supported meters and connect them over Modbus TCP or MQTT, starting with the Shelly Pro 3EM.

  3. Add devices

    Use the admin page to add each device and assign it to its NCC load category.

  4. Hand over

    Set up admin, master and viewer logins. The site is recording and the dashboard is live, with no internet required.

Why PhaseLink

Hours, not weeks

One box and a simple admin page mean contractors can deploy in hours, not weeks.

No lock-in

Standard hardware and open protocols (Modbus TCP, MQTT) instead of proprietary kit.

No subscription

No ongoing subscription and no cloud dependency. The data stays on site, on the PhaseLink box.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is PhaseLink?

PhaseLink is a budget energy management system (EMS) for Australian commercial buildings. It's an all-in-one box, made of commercial off-the-shelf hardware and PhaseLink's own software hub, that electrical contractors install on site.

Is it designed for NCC Section J energy monitoring?

Yes. PhaseLink is designed to meet NCC Section J energy-monitoring requirements. It records energy by NCC load category at 15-minute billing-grade intervals. Always confirm project-specific requirements with the designer or certifier.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. PhaseLink works fully offline with no internet or cloud needed, and it keeps accurate time without an internet connection.

Which meters does it work with?

Can I get the data out?

Yes. Energy history can be viewed as charts and exported to CSV, with 15-minute intervals.

Who can log in?

There are three login levels: admin, master and viewer. Admins can add devices through the admin page.

How long does installation take?

PhaseLink is built to be quick to install, so contractors can deploy it in hours, not weeks.

Can it handle large sites or tenant billing?

Large multi-meter sites (50 to 200+ meters), circuit-level monitoring and tenant sub-metering and billing are on the roadmap and coming soon.

Is there a subscription?

No. There's no ongoing subscription and no cloud dependency. PhaseLink runs on site, on its own box.
