[APP] Energy Flow – Bring Your Home’s Energy to Life! ⚡

[Mariomark1541]

Energy Flow is officially LIVE!

Hi everyone!

After several weeks of development, testing and valuable community feedback, I’m happy to announce that Energy Flow is now officially available in the Homey App Store!

Energy Flow brings your home’s energy consumption, solar production, batteries and other energy devices together in a visual, interactive Homey Dashboard.

Instead of looking at separate numbers, you can actually see how energy moves through your home.

Three Dashboard Widgets

Energy Flow

• Animated house with live electricity flows.

• Grid import and export monitoring.

• Solar production from multiple sources.

• Home battery charging and discharging.

• Support for multiple home batteries.

• EV charger monitoring.

• Interactive energy details and consumption history.

• Optional dynamic electricity price charts, including cheapest and most expensive periods.

• Personal electricity tariff settings.

Water Flow

• Live water consumption where supported.

• Consumption statistics and interactive charts.

• Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views.

• Animated water effects when water is flowing.

Gas Flow

• Gas consumption in m³.

• Historical consumption statistics.

• Interactive charts and detailed information.

• Animated flame effects when live gas flow is available.

Customize Your Dashboard

Energy Flow is designed to adapt to your setup.

• Multiple dashboard layouts.

• Adjustable house illustration size.

• Automatic and manual scaling options.

• Light and dark themes.

• Responsive design for phones, tablets and larger screens.

• Customizable display elements.

• English and Dutch language support.

You can choose which energy information you want to display.

Energy History & Electricity Prices

Explore available consumption data for Today, Week, Month and Year.

Energy Flow uses Homey Energy reports where supported. When complete historical information isn’t available, the app clearly indicates this instead of showing potentially misleading totals.

The optional electricity price overview supports market prices and configurable personal tariffs, depending on the available data and your contract settings.

Download Energy Flow

Latest stable version: v0.5.4

Install Energy Flow from the Homey App Store

Add the widgets to your Homey Dashboard or supported mobile homescreen.

Energy Flow uses your existing Homey devices, requires no additional account and does not control your equipment.

Thank You, Community!

Hello,

Thank you for making this app, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

Everything works great so far with my Tibber Pulse, Sigenergy solar inverter, Sigenstor battery and Zaptec Go EV charger.

Howerver, I have two visual requests:

1. For Electricity, I’d like to be able to see Exported electricity as well, not only imported. Same thing goes for battery: I want to see discharge, not only charge. I made a mockup below that reflects the requested changes, and that also puts them on separate rows (Solar and EV charger follows the same standard in the mockup for consistency).
2. Could you make it an option to remove the “Energy flow” in the top left corner to avoid having the same words stacked on top of each other?

Very good job on creating this app!

This was exactly the energy widget app I’ve been looking for for a long time! It looks amazing!

I only have one issue with the readability and layout. I’m using a 9th-generation iPad (which is still fairly large), but I can’t fit the entire widget on the screen. See attached photo. Would it be possible to adjust this?

At the moment, “Grid consumption” appears twice under electricity, and the same goes for battery discharging. Also, under solar panels, it now shows “Meter available” after sunset. I suspect this should actually indicate that no meter reading is available, as my APsystems inverter stops reporting a value after sunset and displays a dash (-) instead, which presumably cannot be read correctly.

As a possible improvement, would it also be possible to hide the “Now” and “Time” sections, or perhaps add a scaling option to resize the widget?

These are just a few suggestions, and I hope they’re helpful. I’m really looking forward to seeing the end result!

Energy Flow v0.3.8 – SolarEdge Fix Now Available for Testing!

Energy Flow v0.3.8 is now available on the Homey Test channel!

Thanks to a diagnostic report submitted by a user, we’ve identified and addressed a potential issue with SolarEdge solar production tracking.

What’s Fixed and Improved?

SolarEdge PV fix: Correctly uses the lifetime energy counter (meter_power.total) for the supported SolarEdge driver instead of the daily production counter.

Improved historical tracking: Better handling of solar inverters that update their readings less frequently.

More reliable energy data: Improved processing of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly solar production.

Better diagnostics: Added privacy-friendly tools to investigate missing solar production readings.

Testers Wanted!

Are you using SolarEdge solar panels with Energy Flow?

Please test v0.3.8 and let me know whether your live production and historical energy totals are displayed correctly.

The fix has passed automated testing, but feedback from real SolarEdge installations is still needed.

Release Status

v0.3.8 – Available on the Homey Test channel

Live channel – Not released yet

A big thank you to everyone reporting issues and helping improve Energy Flow!

Enjoy testing!

[Steven_Bareman]

Hi, I’m testing your new version and have come across a few things:

• Display scaling: The scaling doesn’t seem to work quite right. Please see image 1 showing the display on a phone (looks great) and image 2 showing the display on an iPad (not correct).
• Duplicate live indicator: There is still a small dot in the bottom-left corner, which I suspect indicates “live”. However, this indicator is already displayed in the top-left corner, so it appears twice. Perhaps it could be placed elsewhere to save some space.
• Duplicate values: Some values are displayed twice. Please see image 3. I think the lower value in each case could be removed, as it duplicates the value above it.
• Price information: I can see the price information displayed, but it doesn’t seem to work yet. Homey Energy already provides the price indication, so I would expect this information to be available. Or does this need to be configured somewhere else?

Other than that, it looks really great!

Energy Flow v0.3.9 – Now Available for Testing!

Hi!

Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback and screenshots! I’ve addressed all four points you reported in the latest update.

Energy Flow v0.3.9 is now available in the Homey Test channel!

What’s improved?

Improved iPad Scaling
The responsive layout has been adjusted for narrower iPad dashboard widgets. Automatic height adjustments no longer unnecessarily shrink the text.

Duplicate LIVE Indicator Removed
The small green dot in the bottom-left corner has been removed. The LIVE indicator remains at the top.

Duplicate Values Removed
Repeated live power readings have been removed, while important charging, discharging and historical information remains available.

Homey Energy Pricing
Energy Flow now uses cost information directly from Homey’s energy reports, including electricity import costs, export value and gas costs where supported.

Your Feedback Is Welcome!

Could you give v0.3.9 another try on your iPad?

I’m particularly interested in whether the scaling now looks correct and whether the displayed costs match Homey Energy.

Thanks again for helping make Energy Flow better!

Energy Flow v0.4.0 – Introducing Water Flow & Gas Flow!

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share a major update to Energy Flow for Homey Pro!

Version 0.4.0 introduces two brand-new dashboard widgets: Water Flow and Gas Flow!

These widgets are designed to give you a clearer, more detailed view of your water and gas consumption, while keeping the existing Energy Flow widget completely intact.

Water Flow – Your Water Consumption at a Glance

• Live water flow in L/min, when supported by your meter.
• Consumption history for Today, Week, Month and Year.
• Interactive consumption charts and detailed views.
• Native Homey Energy history for compatible water meters, including existing historical data.
• Reported water costs when available.
• Subtle animated water effects that respond to actual water flow.

Water Flow supports different meter brands through Homey’s standard device and energy reporting system. Where native history isn’t supported, locally observed consumption remains available as a fallback.

Gas Flow – A Better Overview of Gas Usage

• Gas consumption in m³.
• Today, Week, Month and Year statistics.
• Interactive charts and historical details.
• Homey Energy cost information when available.
• Animated flame effects when actual live gas flow is reported.
• Dedicated gas meter selection.

Designed for Homey Dashboards

Both widgets include:

Automatic compact, normal and expanded layouts.

Manual layout options.

Individual meter selection and settings.

Light and dark themes.

Interactive period controls and detail views.

Responsive layouts for different dashboard sizes.

English and Dutch translations.

First Look

Water Flow – Expanded View

Gas Flow – Expanded View

Screenshots show demo data for illustration purposes.

Homey Test Release

Version 0.4.0 has been built and validated, and is now in test !

I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

• Widget appearance and scaling on iPhone and iPad.
• Dashboard height and screen rotation.
• Compatibility with different water and gas meters.
• Historical consumption and cost accuracy.
• Overall readability and usability.

The existing Energy Flow widget remains available alongside the new widgets.

Thanks to everyone who has been testing Energy Flow and sharing feedback. Your suggestions are helping make the app better with every update!

Looking forward to hearing what you think!

[Steven_Bareman]

Hi, great developments with the widget! I’m really happy with it.

The alignment on an iPad has already improved significantly, although it’s still not quite perfect. For example, the house illustration is not centred, and the space allocated to the solar panels looks very empty compared to the rest of the layout.

A few further suggestions for improvements:

• It would be nice to have the option to remove the live indicator in the top-left corner as well, to save some space.
• Under the “Today” tab, the status “Partially measured” keeps appearing. I have no idea why this is happening.
• The gas meter also displays “Today”, even though we have already selected the Today tab. This seems redundant and could be removed.
• The gas meter also keeps displaying “Partially measured”, even though it certainly hasn’t been offline.
• The home battery also displays “Today”, even though we have already selected the Today tab.
• The home battery also shows “Insufficient history”. I’m not sure why this is happening either.
• The current water consumption displays “Now” next to the reading. This is not shown for the live electricity meter. Would it be better to remove this here as well?
• The charging station displays “Since measurement”. Would it be better to remove this, considering we are already viewing the Today tab?
• Almost all measured values have a vertical marker line. However, this line is missing from both the water meter and the gas meter. It would be good to make this consistent.
• Would it also be possible to display some additional information for the home battery, such as total energy charged, total energy discharged and battery percentage (SoC)?

One final question: would it be possible to include dynamic energy prices in this widget, for example showing the electricity tariffs for the next 24 hours?

Thanks again for all the great work and improvements!

[Mariomark1541]

Hi @Steven_Bareman!

Thank you for the detailed feedback and the iPad screenshot. It has been really helpful in improving Energy Flow!

Energy Flow v0.4.2 is now available on the Homey Test channel!

Improvements based on your feedback

• iPad layout: The house illustration is now better centred and constrained in size, and the compact dashboard layout has been improved.
• LIVE indicator: You can now hide the top-left LIVE indicator through the widget settings.
• Duplicate information: Redundant gas consumption values and unnecessary period labels have been reduced.
• Water: The unnecessary “Now” label has been removed from the overview.
• Gas and water: The vertical accent markers are now more consistent with the other energy sources.
• Battery and EV: Historical information is displayed more compactly, with additional details still available when you open a source.

About “Partially measured” and “Insufficient history”

I’ve investigated both messages.

Partially measured does not mean your gas meter has been offline. Homey Energy provides the consumption total, but doesn’t always provide enough information to confirm complete historical coverage.

For home batteries, reliable device-specific historical totals aren’t always available through the Homey Energy reports. Energy Flow therefore uses valid locally observed meter changes where possible.

I’d rather show a clear limitation than display an incorrect consumption total.

Battery information and dynamic prices

Battery percentage (SoC) is already supported when the selected device provides it. Additional charging and discharging information is available in the details where supported.

I’m also looking into displaying more battery information directly on the dashboard.

Your suggestion for dynamic electricity prices for the next 24 hours is definitely interesting! I’ll investigate the available Homey APIs and how to display accurate tariffs.

Could you test v0.4.2?

I’d love to know whether the house alignment and spacing now look better on your actual iPad, especially after rotating the screen.

Please also let me know if any values or historical messages still seem incorrect.

Thanks again for your continued testing and excellent suggestions!

@Steven_Bareman

Hi @Mariomark1541 great and fast work!

See here the results vertical and horizontal on a iPad!

Hi @Steven_Bareman!

Thanks for testing v0.4.2 so quickly and sharing screenshots in both portrait and landscape mode!

It’s great to see that the layout has improved significantly. The house illustration now appears properly centred, and the widget fits much better on your iPad.

One thing I still notice is that the text looks quite small, especially in landscape mode.

How does it feel in everyday use? Is everything comfortably readable, or would you prefer slightly larger text?

Your feedback from a real iPad is extremely helpful, as browser simulations don’t always reflect how Homey Dashboards behave on actual devices.

Thanks again for your continued support and testing!

Energy Flow v0.5.0 – Dynamic Electricity Prices & Personal Tariffs!

Hi everyone!

Another exciting update for Energy Flow is coming!

Based on your feedback, I’ve added a completely new feature to the Energy Flow dashboard: Dynamic Electricity Prices!

What’s New in v0.5.0?

Interactive Electricity Price Chart

• View available electricity prices for the next 24 hours.
• See the current electricity market price.
• Find the cheapest and most expensive hours.
• Support for hourly and 15-minute electricity prices.
• Interactive chart with detailed prices for each time slot.
• Support for negative electricity prices.
• Automatic handling of daylight saving time.

Personal Electricity Tariffs

You can now choose how Energy Flow displays electricity prices:

• Market prices: View electricity market prices for comparison.
• Automatic via Homey Energy: Use supported tariff settings configured in Homey.
• Manual fixed tariff: Enter your own fixed electricity price per kWh.
• Manual dynamic tariff: Configure your supplier’s markup, energy tax and VAT.

This means Energy Flow can display estimated electricity prices based on your own contract, rather than only showing wholesale market prices.

Personal tariff calculations depend on the information available or entered. Unsupported or missing contract details are never silently estimated.

Designed for Your Dashboard

The new price overview is completely optional and disabled by default.

It also supports:

• Light and dark mode.
• Responsive layouts for phones and tablets.
• English and Dutch.
• Expandable price charts.
• Existing Energy Flow, Water Flow and Gas Flow functionality.

Preview

Dynamic Electricity Price Chart

Test Release

Version 0.5.0 has successfully passed automated validation and has been uploaded to Homey. Publication to the Test channel is the next step.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

• Whether electricity prices match your Homey Energy settings.
• Different energy suppliers and contract types.
• Price accuracy, including taxes and supplier fees.
• The chart’s appearance and usability on iPhone and iPad.
• Any problems with hourly or 15-minute prices.

Please note: Homey market prices do not necessarily reflect the final price charged by your supplier. Always check your actual contract terms.

Thank you all for your continued feedback and support. It’s helping Energy Flow become a much more useful dashboard!

Looking forward to hearing what you think!

Hello.

Greeattttt job !!! Thank you for sharing your widget is amazing !!!

Thank you very much for your great work again

[Steven_Bareman]

Hi,

The house ilustration is not center 100%, it is still more to the left and needs to go more to the right.

The text is quit big i think

[Mariomark1541]

Hi @Steven_Bareman!

Thanks again for your feedback and the screenshot!

I’ve made some further improvements based on your observations. Energy Flow v0.5.1 has now been submitted to the Homey Test channel!

House illustration: Slightly shifted to the right for better visual centring on compact dashboards.

Text size: Reduced the size of values and labels slightly to create a cleaner, more balanced layout.

Responsive layout: The changes are specifically targeted at smaller dashboard widgets, without affecting larger layouts.

Could you give v0.5.1 another try on your iPad, in both portrait and landscape mode?

I’d love to hear whether the house finally looks properly centred and if the text size feels better now.

Thanks again for helping improve Energy Flow!

[RedhaB]

Hi,

Just a question do we have the possibility ( on the next future) to have a bigger house ( i love the animation of the electricity and the house design) the house looks little on Galaxy tab.

thank you again

[Mariomark1541]

Hi @RedhaB!

You ask, I build!

You wanted a bigger house on your Galaxy Tab? Well… challenge accepted!

I’ve just uploaded Energy Flow v0.5.2, featuring a brand-new setting:

Normal
Large
Extra Large

Because apparently, even virtual houses need an upgrade!

The electricity animations are still there, just with more room to shine!

The new version is being prepared for Homey Test.

Give it a try once it’s available and let me know what you think!

Keep the feedback coming. You ask, I build!

[Steven_Bareman]

It is getting better and better every day

I would really see the % SOC of the home battery on the front page of the widget​
