For
Developers exploring grid-storage dispatch logic
Worth noticing
A tick lasts 10 seconds; charging stops at 95% full, while discharging stops at each customer's reserve.

Field notes

The dispatch ladder uses ERCOT price data only when an API key is configured; otherwise the page describes simulated pricing, demand percentiles, and storage activity as inputs. Calls can affect a portion of each service area, while per-home reserves, maintenance tickets, and set signals constrain which homes respond. The API documentation also specifies that writes take effect on the next 10-second tick.
