Hi Community, I think this is the correct category, please can you help me?
I am starting on this forum as my primary requirement is local compatibility with Home Assistant; I would like the ability to control a new house battery/inverter alongside my already integrated original battery (Powerwall 2) and solar setup, I am looking for a recommended Grid (no need for Solar) battery inverter roughly 3kW 240V that works with the following.
My control requirements
- Charge from Grid
- Sit idle ie do not discharge
- Discharge to House
- Discharge to Grid
- Local communication with HA via IP (NOT a usb dongle as I run HA in a VM)
- Node Red is my preferred automation platform
Battery compatibility (or a better recommendation)
- Pylon Force-H3 or Pylontech US5000
If it helps, my automation scenarios
- Charge from Grid once original battery is full during off-peak period
- Discharge to house once original battery is empty during peak period
- Sit idle while original battery is charging/discharging during peak and off-peak periods
Thanks in advance Neil
