I am looking into buying a battery station for my balcony solar system. I have found a lot of solutions that have a lot of problems, one of the biggest one being that the manufactures just love locking you into their cloud and their eco system…
Does anyone know a brand that allows you to access the API from from within home assistant without going through their cloud?
I also want to be able to control the power output of the battery.
Manufatures I have looked at:
- Anker: cloud lock-in, also with the HA integration you cannot control the power output I believe?
- EcoFlow: same story
- Zendure: not sure, but you need to use their inverter (I already have one)
- SunLit: no integration whatsoever, need to use their app
- Marstek: local API possible, but you cannot control the power output I think
- Growatt: no idea, could not find anything regarding a HA integration
- Hoymiles: no idea whether it has a local API
Does anyone have more information? What kind of batteries are you using with HA?
