    Private by design

    Genie reports its own energy use and health, and nothing else. It does not watch the home network, devices, or people, and it makes only outbound connections.

    Demand first, then machines

    Element 31 intends to ship Genies only where real buyers exist to keep them busy. Supply follows demand, so that households are not left with quiet machines and quiet earnings.

    Surplus only, never the grid

    Genie draws power only when the panels are making more than the home is using, and it never sends power to the grid or takes power from it. The rule lives in the machine.
