Realto
Realto's published materials describe a cloud connectivity layer for energy and mobility applications. Its architecture normalises device data and control through a common integration, including connections to vehicle manufacturers and charging operators. This supports developers building monitoring, charging or flexibility products. The cited presentation and research describe the approach without establishing current availability of every integration. [1] [2]
The entries below document published information against the eight assessment criteria. They distinguish stated capabilities from evidence needed for verification. No scores have been assigned.
Demonstrated innovation
The vendor's approach abstracts manufacturer interfaces into a cloud service handling normalisation, consent and device management. Applications can combine vehicle information with charging infrastructure data. [1] [2]
Net savings and operational value
Its 2026 research identifies recurring connectivity costs as a material constraint on smart-charging economics. Net value therefore depends on service design, scale and commercial terms. [2]
Grid capacity and flexibility control
The API documents scheduled commands for groups of assets. This supports orchestration software, while market qualification and physical grid protection require the wider solution. [3]
Interoperability across equipment brands
The presentation covers vehicles, PV, batteries, meters and heat pumps through manufacturer connections. Actual telemetry and controllability remain dependent on the individual manufacturer's interfaces. [1] [2]
Reliability and recovery
The command API exposes execution and verification status and warns about bypassing cooldowns. Realto's research also identifies variable command reliability across manufacturer connections. [2] [3]
Cybersecurity and data governance
API requests use bearer authentication, and the presentation describes consent management. Detailed operational security commitments and retention terms are not specified in these reviewed materials. [1] [3]
Installation, operation and user experience
Developers receive documented command requests and response fields. Household onboarding remains part of the downstream application, including manufacturer consent flows discussed in Realto's research. [2] [3]
Support, lifecycle terms and portability
Realto describes a subscription service with centrally managed cloud versioning. Standard support duration, migration assistance and contractual data-export arrangements are not specified in the presentation. [1]
