Since I got a second Homevolt in March I’m unable to set local or remote mode from Homey flows. What can I provide to troubleshoot? ---

Hi, Any chance you could add an option to manually input the Homevolt IP address? Mine is on a different subnet and can’t be found using mdns… ---

Hey guys, Sorry for the late reply. Work is a bit nuts lately. I’ll get to this as soon as there’s some downtime. Meanwhile, could you DM me your ems.json file @aste? It’s the file located at http:///ems.json. @dribbel Yes definitely, should be an easy fix. That’ll help me figure out how to best fix that. ---

The app works. If I manually change on the device between local and remote. Homevolt follows. But changing local/remote from flows does nothing. ---

> [@dribbel](#): > > Hi, > > Any chance you could add an option to manually input the Homevolt IP address? Mine is on a different subnet and can’t be found using mdns… Alright, finally vacation 🙂 I’ve published a new test release. This is a bit of a biggie since it touches on quite a few key components and refactors to adopt Homey’s latest frameworks. ## **Pairing & setup** - **Manual IP pairing + Repair support** — if Homey and your Homevolt battery/grid sensor/solar panel are on different subnets, mDNS auto-discovery can’t find each other and pairing used to be a dead end. All three device types now show a manual “enter IP address” option on the pairing screen, and support Homey’s native **Repair** action (right-click a device → Repair) to fix a stale IP later — no need to delete and re-add the device. Ping @dribbel. ## **Battery control** - **Fixed: Flow cards could act on the wrong battery.** If you have more than one Homevolt battery, force-charge/discharge and similar Flow actions could silently run against whichever battery Homey happened to load first, instead of the one you picked in the Flow. Now fixed — cards always target the battery you actually selected. Ping @aste. - **New native “Target Power” / “Target Power Mode” capabilities** , replacing the old local/remote toggle. This lets Homey’s built-in Energy features (and standard Flow cards) drive battery charge/discharge directly, rather than needing this app’s own custom cards. Your old Flows using “Battery control mode” / force-charge / force-discharge still work, but are marked deprecated in the card picker — new Flows should use the new Target Power cards instead. - **Charge/discharge power is now validated against your battery’s real rated power** , not just a flat 12kW ceiling. A single-pack (6kW) system can no longer be commanded past its actual limit via a Flow; a dual-pack (12kW) system is unaffected. This is detected automatically from the device and self-corrects if you add/remove a pack later. This is a more proper fix for what your ask @Chrille_A. ## **Solar panel** - Solar sensors now use a dedicated **Solar Panel** device type/driver instead of being a generic “sensor” tagged as solar. If you already had a solar sensor paired, it upgrades itself in place automatically — no re-pairing needed. This should fix your issues with negative values too @Codeaction. ---

Forgot to mention, but it’s punished as a test release here: [Homevolt | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.homevolt.local/test/) ---
