# Profile & Devices

The **Profile & Devices** tab displays the household's behavioural profile — derived by the platform's analytics engine — as well as the inventory of connected devices. The profile cards give energy advisors and rule authors insight into what drives a household's energy behaviour.

## Profile

The **Profile** section contains a set of cards that represent the platform's inferred characteristics of the household. These characteristics are computed from the household's event data and are used by the recommendation engine to personalise notifications.

## Motivations

The **Motivations** card displays a radar chart (triangle) with three axes representing the household's inferred energy-related motivations:

| Axis                 | Description                                                                                                                  |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Ecological**       | How strongly the household appears motivated by environmental concerns.                                                      |
| **Economical**       | How strongly the household appears motivated by cost savings.                                                                |
| **Self Sufficiency** | How strongly the household appears motivated by energy independence (e.g., maximising self-consumption of solar generation). |

Each axis shows a value between 0 and 1. For example, a household with values of 0.35 (Ecological), 0.31 (Economical), and 0.24 (Self Sufficiency) leans slightly more towards ecological motivation.

Below the chart, a **Confidence Score** (e.g., 93 %) indicates how certain the platform is about the motivation profile. Higher confidence scores are achieved when more event data is available.

## Household Type

The **Household Type** card displays a gauge chart that classifies the household by occupancy:

* **Single Person** — The household's consumption pattern is consistent with a single occupant.
* **Multi Person** — The household's consumption pattern is consistent with multiple occupants.

The gauge needle indicates the platform's best estimate, and the shaded segments reflect the probability distribution across the two categories.

## Building Type

The **Building Type** card classifies the type of building (commercial vs residential). This classification is inferred from the energy consumption profile and, where available, from external data sources.

## Devices

The lower part of the tab lists all devices currently linked to the household. Each device entry typically includes:

* **Device ID** — Unique identifier of the device.
* **Device Type** — The category of the device (e.g., smart meter, inverter, temperature sensor).
* **Status** — Whether the device is currently active or inactive.
* **Last Event** — Timestamp of the most recent event received from this device.

Devices are registered automatically when the first event for a new device ID is received, or they can be pre-registered via the API.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.moost.io/platform-manual/buildings/profile-and-devices.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
