Ecoflow integration using API. There are many HACS custom repositories that do not work. It would be great if HA could take one the custom repositories and make it work.
Thanks,
Hello Mike,
Welcome to the forum.
Well that’s not really how it works. We are talking Open Source here, so users usually are the contributors and HA is the base and the glue that coordinates and holds it all together, provides direction, etc.
You have a good idea, you are just looking for someone in the community to help, and the most likely are the actual authors of the Custom Integrations.
Perhaps the [FR] Pinned Post would help here…

do you not use HACS?
if not it really is not hard to use and has massively increased my HA instance’s ability to manage my smart home.
EcoFlow in Home Assistant - finally reliable, with Energy Dashboard and device control
Tired of EcoFlow data only updating when the app is open? Values freezing? No Energy Dashboard? No control?
I built a new HACS integration and it’s been running on my production HA since this week:
- Data flows reliably - no portal login, no app in the background
- Energy Dashboard ready - select sensors and done
- Device control - AC/DC on/off, charge speed, SoC limits
- PowerOcean real-time - ~3 second updates (optional)
- Connection never drops - 4-tier reconnect + HTTP fallback
Supports: PowerOcean (63 sensors), Delta 2 Max (62 sensors + controls), Smart Plug.
My setup as an example: PowerOcean + Smart Plug + Delta 2 Max as a solar-powered office UPS. When there’s solar surplus, the Delta charges from solar. When there’s no surplus, the office runs on battery - zero grid power. All automated through HA. This works because the integration sees and controls all three devices at once.
