Hello,

I’m new to Homey, I am wanting to add my solar/battery system to myhomey however I don’t see any app so can someone please offer help/support on what my options are. I use the FoxCloud app on my iphone but is there anything I can use?

I have a Home Pro Mini (New version) with a Bridge for extra devices/features.

Thank you

Possible options:

  • Wait for an app for Homey to appear (might be tomorrow, might be never)
  • Set up a Home Assistant server with the FoxESSCloud integration and use the Homey Home Assistant app to pull the data into Homey
  • Check if your inverter support Modbus; if so, with some additional hardware (documented here) and the Homey Modbus app you may (no guarantees) get it working with Homey.

And you can follow the link presented for missing device apps; if and when someone creates an app is up to the stars and moon:

I’ve learned H.A. is your best friend, also for (quickly) adding missing stuff to Homey (amongst many other things!):

Thank you both. I will pull out my pi and install HA.
