Is this device ready for demand response? Check the standards, not the brochure.

Fit answers the question funders and program staff face every time a rebate touches a connected device: is this thing actually ready to participate in demand response. It screens a device's documented capabilities against published standards facts, verified and dated: automated DR signaling certification, the modular communications port on water heaters and appliances, and the metering interval settlement needs. The boundary is stated on every result: documented support means technically ready to receive signals; whether any specific program accepts the device is the program's own rulebook, and Fit never pretends otherwise.

Screen a device

What it does.

Screens a device's documented capabilities against a bundled, cited, dated standards table.
Shows each participation path's status plainly: supported, unsupported, or not yet confirmed.
Lists exactly what to confirm with the vendor when an answer is unknown.
States the claim boundary on every result: readiness, never program acceptance.
Runs in the browser on answers you bring from spec sheets. WattShed maintains no device database.

Who it is for.

Funders bundling rebates with flexibility

Screen equipment before subsidizing it, so the flex add-on is real rather than assumed.

Utilities and public program administrators

Give field staff and call centers one consistent readiness screen instead of brochure claims.

Contractors specifying equipment

Know which spec-sheet lines matter before recommending a model for a program home.

How it works.

Describe the device

Category and its documented capabilities, from the spec sheet or the vendor.

Read the paths

Each standard-based participation path, supported or not, with the facts cited.

Close the gaps

Unknowns come back as exact questions for the vendor, not as guesses.

What it does, and what it deliberately does not.

Availability.

The readiness screen is live today as a public self-serve tool, no account required, nothing stored. Device screening wired into a live program's measure list is arranged with WattShed directly.
