TELECONTROL or DYLAMO?
The same hardware, two licence tiers — plus the cloud, which is independent of both. Three questions almost always decide it.
The short answer
You need DYLAMO if any of these is true
1
OCPP charge points — or a model not yet implemented
TELECONTROL speaks Modbus TCP and the models already implemented; different makes side by side are fine.
2
More than one measuring point
Per building section, feeder or transformer, say.
3
PV, heat pump or transformer must be in the loop
That is where load management becomes energy management.
If none applies, aCharge TELECONTROL is enough — and costs less. aCharge Cloud is independent of both: it comes in as soon as you need access control, tariffs or billing.

“—” means: not part of this product's job. Controllers regulate; the cloud manages and bills.
