Hi everyone!
Anker Prime Power Bank | Homey

I’ve released Anker Prime for Homey. The app shows your power bank’s battery level, input power and output power in Homey. You can also use these values in Flows.

This topic is for questions, feedback and bug reports. If you run into an issue, please include your power bank model, your Homey setup and a brief description of what happened.

Thanks for trying the app!

How to add your Anker Prime power bank

  1. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your power bank.
  2. Place it near your Homey Pro or, if you use Homey Self-Hosted Server, near your connected Homey Bridge.
  3. Open the Homey mobile app and go to Devices.
  4. Tap + in the top-right corner, then select New Device.
  5. Search for Anker Prime and select the app. If Homey asks you to install it, tap Install.
  6. Select the power bank and tap Connect.
  7. Wait for your power bank to appear in the list. Select it and complete the on-screen steps.
  8. Open the new device in Homey. You should see its battery level, input power and output power. These values can also be used in Flows.

If the power bank does not appear, check that its Bluetooth is still enabled, keep it close to Homey or the Bridge, press its button to wake it, and try again. If the Anker mobile app is connected to it, close that connection before trying again.

For pictures of where to find Devices → + → New Device, see Homey’s illustrated device setup guide.

If pairing still fails, reply here with your power bank model, whether you use Homey Pro or Self-Hosted Server, and the step where it stops.

I’d love to expand this app to support more Anker Prime models.

So far, I’ve only tested the Anker Prime 27K 250W (A1340). If you own a different Anker Prime model with Bluetooth, please reply here or send me a message. Let me know its exact model number, and we can work together to test whether it can be added to the app.

I can’t promise support for every model, but your help would make it possible to test and add more of them. Thanks!
