# Home energy powered by AI **App store link:** [Sigenergy - Home energy powered by AI](https://homey.app/a/com.sigenergy) ## Description Monitor and automate your Sigenergy system from Homey: solar production, battery storage, grid import/export and EV charging. Everything runs locally over Modbus TCP, no cloud needed. ## Before you start - **Modbus TCP must be enabled** on your Sigenergy system. Your installer can turn it on (for the EV AC charger it may need a support ticket to Sigenergy). - You need the **IP address** of your SigenStor / inverter. Port is **502** by default. Tip: give it a fixed IP in your router. - Homey must be able to reach it on your local network. ## Which devices should I add? All devices on the SigenStor use the same IP and port. Only the **Modbus address** differs: | Device | What it is | Modbus address | Homey Energy | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Plant** | The whole system, as shown on the house picture in the mySigen app: solar, battery, grid, home consumption and EV power. **Battery control flow cards live here.** | 247 (fixed) | – | | **Inverter** | Solar production, daily/total yield, PV voltages. Hybrid and PV inverters. | 1 (typically) | Solar panel | | **Battery** | State of charge, charge/discharge power, average and max cell temperature (min cell temperature on systems that report it), charged/discharged energy. | 1 (typically) | Home battery | | **Energy meter** | Grid power per phase, imported/exported energy. Works with a separate meter or the meter built into the Sigen Gateway. | 247 (fixed) | Energy meter | | **EV DC Charger** | The DC charger built into the SigenStor. | 1 (typically) | EV charger | | **EV AC Charger** | The separate Sigen AC charger, with its own IP address. | 1 (typically) | EV charger | If you have several SigenStor stacks, the Plant device shows the combined values for all of them. ## Battery control (Plant device) **Stop the battery discharging, e.g. while the car charges (v0.7.0+):** - **Hold the battery at its current level** / **Release the battery hold**. Keeps AI mode running. Release restores your previous setting. While held, the house is also supplied from solar and the grid instead of the battery. Example: _when the car starts charging → Hold the battery; when it stops → Release the battery hold._ **Other flow action cards:** - **Set max battery charge / discharge power** , and remove the limit again. Note: AI mode ignores these limits; use the hold cards above instead. - **Set max grid import / export power.** - **Remote EMS** : turn it on/off and pick a mode: _Standby_, _Max self consumption_, _Charge_ (grid or PV first) or _Discharge_. Turning remote EMS off puts the system in _Max self consumption_, not AI mode, so you need to switch back to AI mode in mySigen afterwards. - **Force charge from grid** at a chosen kW. ## Troubleshooting - **Device unavailable after a router restart?** The inverter probably got a new IP. Update the IP address in the device’s settings, no need to re-add the device. - **Something looks wrong?** Turn on _Detailed logging_ in the device settings, let it run while the problem happens, then send a diagnostic report from the app and post the code here (or in a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/ricott/homey-com.sigenergy/issues)). Turn logging off again afterwards. - **Daily/total consumption** is on the Plant device (v0.6.4+). Daily/total solar yield is on the Inverter device. ---

Looks promising. Do you know what the biggest differences from the SolarEdge + Growatt TCP modbus are? Are the different devices (inverter, battery, charger and smart meter) better registered in Homey using this app? Will I see all different parts of the stack as separate devices in Homey? ---

I developed this app for a few reasons. I recently installed a SigenStor stack with a DC charger; usually, I only develop apps I can use myself. The current app that supports many different brands isn’t compatible with Homey Energy. You need separate devices for each device type. The plan is to expand it over time with lots of control options. The Modbus registries provided by Sigenergy are not well structured compared to, for instance, Victron. I hope they will spend some time restructuring and completing them. ---

Brilliant Richard, I am eagerly waiting to get my Sigenstor solution to be installed so not there yet. I only have one small question if I may…. Does it matter if I set up my Sigenstor on a wired network or wireless(2.4)? ---

> [@Tordan](#): > > Does it matter if I set up my Sigenstor on a wired network or wireless(2.4)? Both options work, but I prefer this type of equipment to be connected via wire. Regardless of the connection method, if possible, assign a static IP to the device so it doesn’t change if your router reboots. The static IP is mainly important for local integrations, such as with Homey. ---

Thanks! Good to know. I will set a static IP and also block the Sigenstor from connecting to the 5GHz band on the router. Might give you some more feedback when I am live… ---

Hello Richard, Thank you for creating this amazing app! I’ve been using the “SolarEdge + Growatt TCP modbus” for some time now, which works well, but having an app dedicated to Sigenergy with Homey Energy support and a dashboard widget is a game changer for me! I would like to make a small request though: I’m currently changing all my flows to use your app, but I noticed that there’s one value that’s currently not present in your app, and that’s the “Consumed power”-value. I use this in a calculation to only charge my EV with excessive solar using a third-party wallbox (Zaptec). ![Skärmavbild 2025-10-14 kl. 18.53.56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/1/c1f230442871da7792701b30406431fced6a6c5d.png) You think it would be possible to add this? Thank you in advance! Best regards, Alfred ---

> [@Hass](#): > > but I noticed that there’s one value that’s currently not present in your app, and that’s the “Consumed power”-value. Right, I see that in the SolarEdge + Growatt TCP modbus app, they calculate that manually; `solar -battery + grid.` For the widget, I calculate the home load as: `solar + grid - battery - ev charger`. With the split of devices, it is not clear which device should get this home load/consumption capability. In the SMA app, I ended up with a summary device that displayed data from multiple other devices, including scenarios where, for instance, you had two solar inverters. I’ll have to think a little, but it may make sense here as well. ---

I have released a new test version and sent it to Athom for approval to become the first live version. Changes: - New device icons - Moved the grid status from the battery device to the energy device; I have no idea how I ended up with the battery device previously. - Added a new Plant device to capture the power from all devices in a Plant (system). The Plant device also calculates home consumption. - Updated the live widget to display values from the Plant device. - Added a smaller widget, using device icons. ---

Regarding the Gateway, there is only one mention of it in the PDF spec, which is General Alarm 4. No other mention of the Gateway appears in the spec. I spoke with another user who has a Gateway, and according to his knowledge, it doesn’t have its own native Modbus address. There’s little we can do except inform Sigenergy that they need to improve their Modbus API. ---

Hi, just to let u know that I have ordered the battery and inverter from sigenergy together with new pv panels. So, thx for this integration, will let u know how it goes. Will take some time. One question, for the modbus integration, is there anything extra needed like an ew11? Or is it out of the box Grtz ---

Hi! Great work! Thanks. I have a question, how to set it up. Do you need to add every device seperatly? So, the battery, Inverter, EVAC, plant, etc? Edit: In case you have a Sigenergy Gateway, could I add that to Homey as “Energy meter”? ---

> [@BasPost](#): > > Do you need to add every device seperatly? So, the battery, Inverter, EVAC, plant, etc? Yes, each device separately. I have not spent any time trying to make the addition smarter, given that it is quick and a one-time effort. I don’t have a Gateway myself and am not sure which information you associate with it. There are 0 (zero) Modbus registers for the Gateway in Sigenergy’s specification. ---

Hello! Thank you for adding consumption. I’ve now fully migrated all my flows and dashboards to use your app. I have a new request, but this time for the widget: Would it be possible to add an option to display the EV charger or not, and have the garage closed if no charger exists? I use a third party wallbox (Zaptec) so it will always be 0 usage and a bit confusing for family members when our car is actually charging. Even better would be if the widget could be customizable so that I could add my Zaptec wallbox as the displayed charger in the widget. That would really make the widget complete and show all important loads in my home. ---
