description: AutoGrid Systems is a United States grid-technology company founded in 2011 by
  Amit Narayan in Redwood City, California, that built AI and machine-learning software for
  distributed energy resource management (DERMS), virtual power plants, and automated demand
  response under the AutoGrid Flex platform, selling to investor-owned utilities, retailers,
  and aggregators rather than to end consumers. It sits on the grid-tech / DERMS layer of
  the energy value chain - a buyer and orchestrator of utility and device data, not a data
  custodian - so no Green Button, Consumer Data Right, or smart-meter data-sharing obligation
  attaches to it. Schneider Electric took control of AutoGrid and then sold it to Uplight
  in a deal announced 14 December 2023 and closed in early 2024; auto-grid.com now serves
  only a 270-byte meta-refresh to uplight.com (on an expired TLS certificate as of 27 July
  2026) and every developer, docs, api, and data subdomain fails to resolve. Its API posture
  is therefore honestly none-published - no public developer portal, no OpenAPI, no SDK, no
  consumer usage API, and no open market data. Its machine-readable contract is instead
  expressed as protocol conformance, and that is real and still published by the certifying
  bodies. AutoGrid is a certified OpenADR 2.0a and 2.0b VTN (server) - AutoGrid DROMS and
  OpenDR Server 2.0, Simple HTTP + XMPP, pull and push - and holds SunSpec Alliance
  certificate CS-000074 for AutoGrid Flex as an IEEE 2030.5-2018 / CSIP server, tested by
  Intertek on 12 December 2023 and awarded 22 January 2024. Both surfaces authenticate with
  mutual TLS x.509 client certificates and were reachable only under commercial contract.
  The successor surface at docs.uplight.com is real but fully login-gated, redirecting
  anonymous visitors to a ReadMe dashboard login, and api.uplight.com answers HTTP 401 with
  "Invalid or no token provided" - partner and customer access only.
