[APP][PRO&CLOUD] TIGO Energy

This app is the [OFFICIAL] replacement of the Tigo driver in the solar panels app.

Connect your Tigo Inverter to Homey and get detailed insights into your solar energy production.

Monitor your current power output, as well as your total generation. With the Tigo app for Homey, you can use this data to optimize your energy usage, create Flows, and keep track of your system’s performance — all in one place..

A Tigo EI Premium or Professional subscription is required.

Is it just for inverters, or you are going to implement optimizers as well ? Eg. Tigo TS4-A-O ?

I dont know yet. Depends first of all if the optimizer provides (interesting) information via the Tigo cloud api.

So @Gruijter is it you looking for Tigo Cloud credentials or it’s @RM_de_Gruijter , or it’s just your 2nd nickname, a little bit confused now :wink:

FYI, the optimizers are connected via Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA) - can I check provided data myself, or it’s worth to share the credentials ?
There is/was also an option to get the data locally from CCA, but last time I checked, it’s not so simple anymore.

Also, please note, I’m using free tier - EI Basic - maybe for others might be worth to mention, because I understood that EI Professional provides much more data.

I see, it’s your nickname because of the apps developed “officially”, no need to clarify anymore :wink:

Yes I need your credentials (so you need to trust me :wink::innocent:). Free tier is good since I need to see what the limitations are.

No way :wink: PMed you… :crossed_fingers:

To be able to further develop and test the Tigo app, I need volunteers with a Tigo Premium account (20 euro/year, see EI Premium from Tigo Energy )

Who can help? :folded_hands:

App version 1.0.0 is ready for testing: Tigo | Homey

Many thanks to @Sharkys for providing a test account! :hugs:

Version 1.0.1 is ready for testing: Tigo | Homey

  • Inverter icon updated

This is candidate to be released as stable in the app store.

Hello Gruijter,

if you still need it, I can provide my credentials with the EI premium subscription.

My entirely Tigo system includes:

  • TSI-6K1D inverter
  • TS4-A-O2 optimizers
  • EI Battery TSB-6 storage and BMS

I recently installed and configured your app and I own Homey Pro 2023

Request: it would be perfect to have the following information available:

  • % of battery available at the moment (most important information)
  • amount of energy exchanged from the grid, punctual or daily

In my personal opinion, the information on total energy produced by the installation of the photovoltaic system is not very useful for practical purposes.

Infinitely thank you for your precious work

Thx @Claudio_Patuano!

But I already managed to finish the app. The Tigo API only supports monitoring of inverters, so battery storage monitoring/control is not possible unfortunately.

Monitoring optimizers might be possible, but I do not see a solid use case for that. But maybe you and the rest of the Tigo community feels different.

Please do test the latest release and let me know what you think!

Using HA for that already, but via local access (I doubt API provides those options anyway)

  • voltage IN / OUT
  • current / power
  • TEMPERATURE
  • signal / optimizer status

For each optimizer with ability to perform remote shutdown, I found it pretty useful.
However, yes, for those of us having optimizers, it’s useful.

As I will not pay extra for access to data I already own.
I would very much like the data to be read from the public access URL, that provides enough data for me.

Hi @Sharkys and @RM_de_Gruijter,
I came across your discussion about support for individual Tigo optimizers. I’ve developed a Homey app focused on this use case and tested it with my own installation of 22 panels using a free Tigo account.

The app currently provides:
• Per-panel power and daily energy
• A dashboard widget showing the actual panel layout, with labels and readings directly on each panel
• Panel comparisons within each string
• Relative degradation estimates and underperformance alerts
• Production charts and Tigo cloud alerts

:test_tube: Test version:

@Sharkys — this covers part of what you requested. My account does not return voltage, current or temperature, so those measurements are hidden after their absence is verified. Local CCA access and remote shutdown are not implemented.

@RM_de_Gruijter — would you be interested in integrating this functionality into your existing Tigo app? I’m happy to share the code and collaborate. Alternatively, would you prefer that I publish it as a separate app focused on panel-level monitoring?

I’ve made a test version available, but I’d like to discuss this with you before submitting a separate app for public release.

Thanks!

Maybe. I would have to consult with Athom about that.
Are you using the official cloud api? Or something different? And what are the limitations of a free EI account?

Thanks for your response!

Just out of curiosity, could you clarify why consulting Athom would be necessary? I’d be interested to understand if there are any specific requirements or restrictions involved.

Yes, I’m using the official Tigo Cloud API.

Regarding the limitations of the free EI account, I believe Tigo’s official documentation would be the best source for accurate and up-to-date information on that.
