Texture Documentation

Tomorrow.io provides weather intelligence platforms, climate risk analytics, and environmental forecasting solutions specifically for the energy sector. The integration allows users to leverage advanced weather APIs, severe weather alerts, and climate data to support renewable energy forecasting, grid resilience planning, and energy system optimization for utilities and energy developers.

Texture is a platform designed for AI-powered workflows, live data access, and secure collaboration across systems, devices, and teams. The platform provides capabilities for device management, grid operations, programs, integrations, and API access.

60Hertz Energy provides a specialized Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) platform designed for distributed energy resources, including solar, wind, battery storage, and microgrids. The platform integrates real-time monitoring with maintenance workflows, offering automated alerts, standardized procedures, AI-powered analytics, weather-informed scheduling, and offline capabilities for remote operations.

Shovels provides construction permit data analytics, building intelligence platforms, and market research tools specifically for the energy sector. The integration allows solar installers, energy developers, and equipment manufacturers to identify opportunities and track market activity across residential and commercial construction segments by aggregating permitting data and construction activity.

The Gridstatus integration provides Texture with access to open-source wholesale electricity market data, including real-time and historical pricing from ISOs such as CAISO, ERCOT, PJM, NYISO, ISO-NE, MISO, and SPP. This integration is designed to enable energy price-aware Distributed Energy Resource (DER) dispatch, arbitrage optimization, and market analytics. This integration is currently on the Texture roadmap; users should contact their Texture account team for early access or to discuss specific requirements.

Texture natively powers Itron's DER Optimizer (DERO), an end-to-end aggregator Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS). DERO integrates a broad ecosystem of flexible loads—including load control switches, smart thermostats, batteries, and electric vehicles—with grid-edge intelligence to provide services such as economic dispatch, non-wires alternatives, local grid balancing, and decarbonization. It is built upon the IntelliSOURCE® platform, providing foundational capabilities for customer enrollment, device connectivity, telemetry ingestion, analytics, and reporting.

The Virtual Peaker integration connects Texture with Virtual Peaker's Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) platform. This allows utilities to orchestrate demand response programs and virtual power plants (VPPs). In this architecture, Texture serves as the device connectivity layer, while Virtual Peaker manages load management and dispatch optimization. This integration falls under the TPDO / DERMS category for third-party DER orchestration and grid services.

EV Detection identifies meters likely charging an electric vehicle by analyzing interval meter data directly. It identifies Level-2 charging, which typically appears as a clean, flat-topped block of added load on top of a home's normal baseline. The system scores every meter in a specified window and provides a ranked list of candidates with associated load curves.

myTexture is a Texture App designed to provide users with a dedicated dashboard where they can log in and view their own device data. As of the current documentation, this integration is in development and on the Texture roadmap.

Palmetto Energy Intelligence (EI) integrates with Texture to provide access to disaggregated, hourly home energy usage and scenario modeling. It offers physics-based insights for electrification and efficiency upgrades, as well as tools for solar design, energy storage modeling, and renewable energy project management for residential and commercial projects.

Shadow Power provides virtual power plant (VPP) technology, demand response platforms, and energy trading solutions. The integration allows users to connect behind-the-meter assets with financial systems to enable residential and commercial energy resources to participate in wholesale energy markets and grid service programs.
