Quick Start Guide Relevant Agent
LG Energy Solution & SA Power Networks
LG Energy Solution is an approved technology for SA Power Networks to operate
as a Relevant Agent under the South Australia Government’s Smarter Homes
program.
deX – Powered by GreenSync – is part of the LG Energy Solution, providing SA
Power Networks with visibility and control of LG Energy Solution devices via
an API integration to LG Energy Solution’s RESU HOME Monitor1.
To allow SA Power Networks to operate as the Relevant Agent for a LG Energy Solution system, a number of actions must be undertaken.
- Installers must nominate SA Power Networks – LG Energy Solution as the Relevant Agent via SAPN’s SmartApply Application, available here.
- Installers must ensure that the system is commissioned and online through LG Energy Solution’s commissioning processes. This includes:
- Configuration of the system Wi-Fi 2
- Setting up the owner’s user account
- Installers must then collect the relevant information using the deX Device Registration App3 to allow SA Power Networks to validate, view and control systems for which they have consent.
Steps 1 and 2 can be found via the links above. This document provides guidance on what must be performed for Step 3 to ensure that SA Power Networks is able to communicate instructions and control LG Energy Solution devices, via deX.
- LG Energy Solution devices will be commissioned and connected to LG Energy Solution’s platform.
- It is important to ensure the system is connected to a stable internet condition with strong Wi-Fi signal at the inverter. If any Wi-Fi issues cannot be resolved using these instructions, please call LG Energy Solution technical support on 1300 178 064.
- Please select the ‘device registration app’ from the available options and a link will be sent to you to access the app.

Information to be provided
The App has been designed to capture the minimum necessary information to allow SA Power Networks to operate as the Relevant Agent for LG Energy Solution systems. The information that is captured on each page in the deX Registration App is:
- Installer information – This information is used to send you and your head office a record of the submission and to manage submissions.
- Location information – This information is used to identify the geographic and network location of the device being installed.
- System type – This ensures that the information captured is relevant for the system type that is being connected.
- System information & capabilities – Collecting this information allows the LG Energy Solution system to be validated and remotely controlled by SA Power Networks to meet its obligations as the Relevant Agent.
- Installation information – This includes the date of install and our terms of use.
Once all the above steps have been completed, pressing submit sends the data
directly to GreenSync to allow the technical registration to be completed. A
copy is also sent to both yourself and your head office as a record.
