Consortium
Since December 2025 enbility is carried by six parties jointly. Each of them builds or tests products that depend on EEBUS working properly — that is the whole governance model.
Company
CompanyEmbedded Linux, IoT and EEBUS tooling from Munich and Cairo: EEBUS Hub for SiL/HiL device testing, Verify 360 for qualification readiness, and gateway stacks for D-Bus, REST and MQTT.

How the project is governed
Roles, policies and decision rules are written down and agreed by all members — not left to whoever happens to hold the commit bit.
Steering committee
One representative per member. Decides on admissions, the strategic roadmap and anything the maintainers cannot settle among themselves.
Lazy consensus by default
Day-to-day work runs on informal agreement. Only defined decisions — licence, policy or domain changes among them — require a formal vote.
A committed minimum
Each member contributes at least 32 hours a month, in code, infrastructure, documentation or community work. Contributions are reviewed quarterly.
Beyond code
Products and services offered by consortium members
The libraries are free, and nobody sells them. What the consortium members do sell are the products and services around them — certified hardware, test capacity and implementation work.
EnergyLink One
The first box officailly qualified with the enbility EEBUS stack: limitation of power consumption and production in both roles — as the controllable system (CS/HEMS) and as the energy guard (EG, the German Steuerbox) — plus power and grid connection point monitoring and SHIP pairing. It runs alongside a local HEMS such as evcc, connects to a cloud HEMS, or is extended with your own applications and connectors through the SDK.

- MPC
- MGCP
- SHIP pairing
- CS and EG roles
- HEMS and cloud HEMS
- SDK for own applications
EEBUS Hub and qualification
A simulation and test framework for EEBUS device development, a validation suite that reports what still stands between a device and certification readiness, and use case implementation for customers who need the protocol inside their own product.
- EEBUS Hub
- Qualification readiness
- Use case implementation
EEBUS test lab
A lab wired with real PV systems, battery storage, wallboxes and test smart meter gateways, reachable over VPN — where an EEBUS implementation or integration meets hardware that behaves like hardware, not like a simulator.
- Implementation testing
- Integration testing
- Remote access
Hardware built on eebus-go
Wallboxes, charging cables, inverters and storage that speak EEBUS through the same stack — and the option to have the electronics developed and manufactured for the job, from prototype to series production.
- Charging hardware
- PV and storage
- Custom EMS electronics
