I just cannot connect to my battry/Inverter. Tried everything. Any ideas or direction please?
Did your installer enable Modbus for you?
When I look at the Energy Meter/Battery data in Homey, the devices always show the values that the mySigen mobile app shows and labels as âlifetimeâ.
For example, when I open the Energy Meter device in Homey, it shows âEnergy imported = 696.18 kWhâ, which exactly matches the lifetime imported energy in the mySigen app. The same applies to battery charged and discharged energy.
I do see the flow card(s) âWhen imported/exported energy becomes âŚâ, but from what I understand these cards are triggered by real time values, not by energy accumulated over a specific period (e.g. daily). Because the exposed values are lifetime totals, itâs not possible to create even a simple flow such as monitoring daily energy import and sending a notification once a threshold is reached (for example when Iâve imported 20 kWh today).
Would it be possible to add flow cards that can access and use energy data over selectable time ranges? Ideally, these would include: Today, This week, This month, This year, Lifetime (same as mySigen app) and additionally last 24h (as thatâs not the same as Today).
For example, a flow card like:
When âImported energy becomes more than 20kWH during Todayâ â> Send messageâŚ
I have looked and i cnnot see how or where to enable the modbusâŚ
You wonât be able to enable it yourself. Youâll need to ask your installer to turn it on. Once itâs enabled, you wonât see any indication of it in the app, but youâll be able to configure the Homey app (youâll basically just need your systemâs IP address).

This app is awesome!! Thanks a lot, really like it.
Does anyone have any good Flow for notifications when for example SigenStor (battery) or EVDC starts/stops charging? I have tried some simple flows but I´m getting flooded with notifications because the battery seems to start/stop all the time.
I have also tried to get notifications when EVDC starts bi-directional charging (V2H) but then I get notifications booth that it has started charging (to the car) AND that is start bi-directional charging (to the house)..
Hi @Richard_B , thanks for developing this great app. I have enabled MODBUS with the assistance of the installer and setup app in homey with Battery, Inverter, Energy Meter and Plant. All have been enabled for Home Energy. I am curious to understand how the Energy Meter calculates usage, as for me it seems very low in comparison to the household load. In my example the Sig App shows the home usage is a few KW, however the Energy Meter only shows a few hundred watts.
I have created debug report if you have an opportunity to review. Note : I have only enabled today, perhaps things will look different tomorrow.

Thanks Richard
Although allready very nice App I would be even more happy if the Monitoring values would allready Show, now i donât see the 3rd party productie (connected by means of smartport in the gateway) and the intergrated DC charger. At the moment also no values, keep up the good work
Yes, same here. I have two solar arrays: one DC-coupled and one AC-coupled via the smart port. Both are visible in the MySigen app, but not in Homey, so total production and household load shown in Homey are always incorrect. At the moment, I only use the app to view battery charge and discharge rates, SOC, and average cell temperature. It would be great if Homey could reflect all the data available in the MySigen app, and if operation modes could be switched via flows. I guess we can only hope.
